Mechanisms of Muscle Wasting — The Role of the Ubiquitin–Proteasome Pathway

Mitch, William E., Goldberg, Alfred L.·1996·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

All proteins in mammalian cells are continually being degraded and replaced. In the cytosol, nucleus, and organelles, individual proteins are degraded at widely differing rates; some cytosolic enzymes have half-lives as short as 10 minutes, whereas others last for days. The average rate of protein turnover also varies among tissues; the majority of proteins in rat hepatocytes are replaced every few days, whereas those in muscle or brain cells are replaced every one to two weeks. The amount of intracellular protein turned over each day is quite large. In a normal 70-kg adult, about 280 g of protein is synthesized . . .

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.
