abstract：:Formation of protein aggregates is the hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and frontotemporal dementia. Many ubiquitin-associated proteins are recruited to protein aggregates, such as sequestosome 1/p62 (p62), parkin, and cereblon (CRBN). However, the roles of thes...
