Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of misfolded proteins leads to many neurodegenerative diseases that can be treated by lowering or removing mutant proteins.

Ubiquitination of the misfolded proteins, a common feature of the neurodegenerative diseases, is mediated by the different lysine residues on...
