The Emerging Roles of E3 Ligases and DUBs in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Mol Neurobiol. 2023 Jan;60(1):247-263. doi: 10.1007/s12035-022-03063-3. Epub 2022 Oct 19.

Abstract

Despite annual increases in the incidence and prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, there is a lack of effective treatment strategies. An increasing number of E3 ubiquitin ligases (E3s) and deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) have been observed to participate in the pathogenesis mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, on the basis of which we conducted a systematic literature review of the studies. This review will help to explore promising therapeutic targets from highly dynamic ubiquitination modification processes.

Keywords: Deubiquitinating enzymes; E3 ubiquitin ligases; Neurodegenerative diseases; Ubiquitination.
