The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in Brain Disorders: Pathogenic Pathways, Post-Translational Tweaks, and Therapeutic Frontiers. (PubMed, J Neuroimmune Pharmacol)
Moreover, post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, acetylation, and oxidative stress, further modulate UPS activity and disease progression. Lastly, the review also evaluates emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring proteostasis, including proteasome-targeting small molecules (e.g., bortezomib, IU1-47), natural compounds (e.g., curcumin, resveratrol), RNA-based therapies (e.g., miR-101, circHIPK3), and dietary approaches (e.g., Mediterranean and ketogenic diets), offering a foundation for future neurodegenerative disease treatment.
