Discovery Of New Proteasome Regulatory Mechanism May Have Implications For Neurodegenerative Diseases And Cancer

Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system is related to many severe neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and certain types of cancer. Such dysfunction is also believed to be related to some degenerative muscle diseases. The proteasome is a large protein complex that maintains cellular protein balance by degrading and destroying damaged or expired proteins. The ubiquitin is a small protein that labels proteins for destruction for the proteasome. If the system does not work effectively enough, expired and damaged proteins accumulate in the cell... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
