Aβ oligomers (AβOs) are crucially involved in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, the lack of selective approaches for targeting these polymorphic Aβ assemblies represents a major …
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is an essential quality control mechanism of the folding state of proteins in the secretory pathway that targets …
CD4 and BST-2/Tetherin are cellular membrane proteins targeted to degradation by the HIV- 1 protein Vpu. In both cases proteasomal degradation following recruitment into the ERAD …
