“…Analogously, in neurons, where cell polarity is also crucial, the localization of the proteasome targets the degradation of ubiquitylated proteins, required for axon development (Otero et al, 2014;Hsu et al, 2015) and presynaptic differentiation (Pinto et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2019). Here, a polarized phenotype is achieved by the selective degradation of polarity proteins, such as PAR-2, PAR-3, PAR-6 (Laumonnerie and Solecki, 2018), and actin polymerizing factors, such as VASP by the UPS (Boyer et al, 2020). Interestingly, upon activation, B cells upregulate the ubiquitylation of proteins, including BCR downstream signaling molecules, polarity proteins, and actin polymerizing factors (Satpathy et al, 2015), highlighting a role for the UPS in regulating actin dynamics and B cell activation.…”
