Reduced SMN protein impairs maturation of the neuromuscular junctions in mouse models of spinal muscular atrophy.

abstract：:Cellular protein homeostasis is achieved by a delicate network of molecular chaperones and various proteolytic processes such as ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to avoid a build-up of misfolded protein aggregates. The latter is a common denominator of neurodegeneration. Neurons are found to be particularly vulnerabl...
