Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation plays essential roles in proteostasis and is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases in which ubiquitin-positive aberrant proteins accumulate. However, how such aberrant proteins are processed inside cells has not been fully explored. Here, we show that the product of CG5445, a previously uncharacterized Drosophila gene, prevents the accumulation of...
