NEMF mutations that impair ribosome-associated quality control are associated with neuromuscular disease

Defective protein quality control is a key feature of neurodegeneration. Here, the authors show that mutations in Nemf/NEMF, a component of the Ribosome-associated Quality Control complex, have a neurodegenerative effect in mice and may underlie neuromuscular disease in seven unrelated families.
