Key Event Title
Proteasomal dysfunction
Short name
The covalent interaction of α-diketones with arginines leads to altered structure and functioning of proteins. Indication of widespread protein damage was observed in DA exposed mice (Hubbs et al. 2016)
The inactivation of enzymes due to the interaction of α-diketones with arginine residues at their active sites has been demonstrated (Chen and Chen 2003). Protein damage has been measured by accumulation of ubiquitin and sequestosome-1 in the lungs of exposed mice (Hubbs et al. 2016)
