The ubiquitin-proteasome system in neurodegenerative diseases: Precipitating factor, yet part of the solution

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases based on the presence of deposits consisting of ubiquitylated proteins in affected neurons. It has been postulated that aggregation-prone proteins associated with these disorders, such as α-synuclein, β-amyloid p...
