Studies using NF-κB-dependent human cancer models have demonstrated increased levels of the CRL1β TRCP substrate pIκBα and inhibition of NF-κB activity and apoptosis 116, 117 , suggesting the feasibility of NAE inhibition for the treatment of disease that is associated with constitutively active NF-κB signalling 112 The recent discovery of the importance of linear ubiquitin chains in NF-κB activation extends the complexity of the regulation of the system. As expected, ubiquitin-dependent processes, including the degradation of ubiquitylated proteins by the 26S proteasome, by autophagy and in the endosome-lysosome pathway, have central roles in neuronal development, homeostasis and disease. ./cache/cord-300418-s4wt5gim.txt ./txt/cord-300418-s4wt5gim.txt
