Abstract excerpt
UCH-L1 (ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase L1) is well known as an enzyme that hydrolyzes polyubiquitin at its C-terminal to release ubiquitin monomers. Although the overexpression of UCH-L1 inhibits proteasome activity in cultured cells, its biological significance in living organisms has not been clarified in detail. Here, we utilized Drosophila as a model system to examine the effects of the overexpression...
