Ageing is a major risk factor for the development of many diseases, prominently including
neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease. A hallmark …

A hallmark of neurodegenerative proteinopathies is the formation of misfolded protein
aggregates that cause cellular toxicity and contribute to cellular proteostatic collapse …

Protein aggregation and dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system are hallmarks of
many neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we address the elusive link between these …

Loss of protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is a common feature of aging and disease that is
characterized by the appearance of nonnative protein aggregates in various tissues. Protein …

Expression of many disease-related aggregation-prone proteins results in cytotoxicity and
the formation of large intracellular inclusion bodies. To gain insight into the role of inclusions …

Mammalian cells remove misfolded proteins using various proteolytic systems, including the
ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS), chaperone mediated autophagy (CMA) and …

This review focuses on chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), one of the proteolytic
systems that contributes to degradation of intracellular proteins in lysosomes. CMA substrate …

Cells possess an extensive network of components to safeguard proteome integrity and
maintain protein homeostasis (proteostasis). When this proteostasis network (PN) declines …

The 26S proteasome is a large,∼ 2.5 MDa, multi-catalytic ATP-dependent protease complex
that serves as the degrading arm of the ubiquitin system, which is the major pathway for …

Proteolysis in eukaryotic cells is mainly mediated by the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system
(UPS) and the autophagylysosome system (hereafter autophagy). The UPS is a selective …
