Researchers have identified the mechanism by which the cell's proteasome ramps up its activity to take care of unwanted and potentially toxic proteins. The finding has implications for treating muscle wasting and neurodegeneration, and suggests that small molecule inhibitors of this mechanism may be clinically useful in treating multiple myeloma.
