Are ubiquitination pathways central to Parkinson’s disease?

Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder. The major motor disabilities of PD are associated with the extensive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The physiological changes and biochemical pathways involved in the selective demise of these neurons are still unclear. Recent studies have demonstrated that alterations or reductions in ubiquitin-mediated proteasome function can be causal of at least some forms of parkinsonism, and multiple lines of evidence suggest that this mechanism of protein degradation may play an important role in the etiology of PD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
