Their paper, Chloroplast Biogenesis is Regulated by Direct Action of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System, is due to be published in the journal Science on November 2.
10) Clearing misfolded mutant protein and inhibiting aggregate formation Decreasing mutant protein levels may also be achieved by enhancing polyQ protein clearance, through upregulation of the two main cellular pathways responsible for degradation of misfolded proteins--the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy.
Neuronal cell adhesion molecules "are critical in the development of the nervous system, contributing to axonal guidance, synaptic formation and plasticity, and neuronal-glial interactions," the researchers explained, while the ubiquitin-proteasome system "operates pre- and post-synaptic compartments, regulating synaptic attributes, including transmitter release, synaptic vesicle recycling in pre-synaptic terminals, and dynamic changes in dendritic spines and the post-synaptic density.
