Publication : The ubiquitin proteasome system in synaptic and axonal degeneration: a new twist to an old cycle.

Abstract Text  The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) contributes to the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, and it is also a major determinant of synaptic protein degradation and activity. Recent studies in rodents and in the fruit fly Drosophila have shown that the activity of the UPS is involved in axonal degeneration. Increased knowledge of the UPS in synaptic and axonal reactions may provide novel drug targets for treatments of neuronal injuries and neurodegenerative disorders. Doi  10.1083/jcb.200311091
