In the present paper, we summarize data regarding characterization of MSUT2 (mammalian suppressor of tau pathology 2), a protein identified in a C. elegans tauopathy model and subsequently shown to modify tau toxicity in mammalian cell culture via the effects on autophagy...

... on the UPS (ubiquitin–proteasome system) and the ALS (autophagy–lysosome system). In the present paper, we focus on the regulation of the degradation of tau by the UPS and ALS and its relation to tau aggregation. We anticipate that stimulation of these two protein-degradation systems might be a potential...
