“…Dysregulation of autophagy and protein ubiquitination contributes to neurodegeneration Across 15 hiPSC studies, evidence of impaired protein degradation in LRRK2, PRKN, GBA, DJ-1, SNCA, and sporadic PD lines has been reported 26,27,29,36,45,[48][49][50]53,56,58,63,69,75 . Unbiased pathway analysis of cysteine-modified proteins revealed an enrichment of proteins involved in the ubiquitination and removal of unfolded protein 76 . Accumulation of autophagosomes and increased expression of key autophagy regulators (i.e., beclin1, p62) were also consistently noted in PD neurons, suggestive of an upregulation of autophagy initiation 26,36,48,49,56,74 .…”
