10th Proteasome & Autophagy Congress

This meeting will cover up-to-date knowledge on proteolytic systems (Ubiquitin Proteasome System and Autophagy) and their implication in different diseases. The first session of the Congress will cover new insights on Proteasome structure and function. A specific session will be dedicated to signaling pathways that control the fine-tuning of protein modifications by ubiquitin (ubiquitination and deubiquitination) and Ub-like proteins. All these modifications play a crucial role in a wide range of cellular processes (cancer, cell stress, signal transduction, etc.). Autophagy is interconnected with the UPS and plays also a major role in cell homeostasis (particularly for eliminating abnormal organelles, controlling energy balance, and protein trafficking). These aspects will be covered in the last session.
