“…Human myogenic cells expressing DUX4-FL exhibit insoluble ubiquitylated proteins (46), which suggests the ubiquitin proteasome system may be impaired in FSHD. Furthermore, proteins involved in the ubiquitin proteasome system are increased at the transcriptional and protein level (14,60,61) after induction of DUX4. In our data, several ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzymes (UBE2T, UBE2D2, UBE2Q1), ubiquitin E3 ligases (UBR3, UBR7, XIAP, TRIM32, RNF149, RNF213), deubiquitylating enzymes (USP11, USP8, USP22, OTULIN, UCHL1), as well as proteasome activator complex subunit protein (PSME4) were each more abundant in FSHD myoblasts (Fig.…”
