Abstract

The accumulation of intracellular protein deposits as inclusion bodies is the common pathological hallmark of most age related neurodegenerative disorders including polyglutamine diseases. Appearances of aggregates of the misfolded mutant disease proteins suggest that the cells are unable to efficiently degrade them, and failure of clearance leads to the severe disturbances of the cellular quality control system. The quality control ubiquitin ligases are now increasingly implicated in the biology of polyglutamine diseases, Parkinson’s diseases, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Here we review the recent studies that have revealed a critical role of E3 ubiquitin ligases in understanding the pathogenesis of polyglutamine diseases
