Label-Free Quantitative Proteomic Profiling Identifies Disruption of Ubiquitin Homeostasis As a Key Driver of Schwann Cell Defects in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Abstract excerpt

Low levels of survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein cause the neuromuscular disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons and atrophy of skeletal muscle. Recent work demonstrated that low levels of SMN also trigger pathological changes in Schwann cells, leading to abnormal axon myelination and disrupted deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in peripheral nerve....
