Dual Function of USP14 Deubiquitinase in Cellular Proteasomal Activity and Autophagic Flux [PDF]
Summary: The ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagy-lysosome system are two major intracellular proteolytic pathways in eukaryotes. Although several biochemical mechanisms underlying the crosstalk between them have been suggested, little is known ...

Breaking Barriers in Alzheimer’s: Next‐Gen Small Molecules Targeting USP14 for Neuroprotection and Protein Homeostasis [PDF]
Abstract Background In Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, autophagy is over activated, however emerging research suggests that the ubiquitin‐proteasome system might clear aggregation proteins and be a therapeutic target for AD and protein misfolding diseases.
