The role of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in cancer development and treatment
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that plays a role in several cellular processes including cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, DNA replication and apoptosis. Ubiquitin-mediated signaling is frequently altered in cancer cells. Several tumor suppressors and oncogenes interact with enzymes of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway that function in ubiquitin conjugation and deconjugation....
