Comparative analysis of neuronal proteolytic pathways reveals neuron-specific and sub-compartmental-specific capacities with aging

Abstract Proteostasis is essential for maintaining neuronal function, and its dysregulation is a hallmark of aging and neurodegeneration. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and macroautophagy are the two major proteolytic pathways responsible for protein degradation. However,...
