Effects of Proteasome Inhibition on Tau Protein

The ubiquitin-proteasome system is an important proteolytic pathway implicated in the formation of neurofibrillary tangles from hyperphosphorylated tau, a pathological hallmark of tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease. We hypothesize that proteasome inhibition will result in tau accumulation, lead...
