The presence of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) in the synaptic terminations suggest a potential role of ubiquitin-dependent mechanisms in the control of the membrane occupancy by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including those belonging to the opioid family. In this review, we focused our attention on the role played by the ubiquitination processes and by UPS in the modulation of opioid receptor signaling and in pathological conditions involving the endogenous opioid system. The collective evidence here reported highlights the potential usefulness of proteasome inhibitors in neuropathic pain, addictive behavior, and analgesia since these molecules can reduce pain behavioral signs, heroin self-administration, and the development of morphine analgesic tolerance. Moreover, the complex mechanisms involved in the effects induced by opioid agonists binding to their receptors include the ubiquitination process as a post-translational modification which plays a relevant role in receptor trafficking and degradation. Hence, UPS modulation may offer novel opportunities to control the balance between therapeutic versus adverse effects evoked by opioid receptor activation, thus, representing a promising druggable target.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20061441","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,21]],"date-time":"2019-03-21T12:28:01Z","timestamp":1553171281000},"page":"1441","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Interplay between the Endogenous Opioid System and Proteasome Complex: Beyond Signaling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Francesca Felicia","family":"Caputi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, <i>Alma Mater Studiorum<\/i>\u2014University of Bologna, Irnerio 48, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Rullo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, <i>Alma Mater Studiorum<\/i>\u2014University of Bologna, Irnerio 48, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serena","family":"Stamatakos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, <i>Alma Mater Studiorum<\/i>\u2014University of Bologna, Irnerio 48, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanzio","family":"Candeletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, <i>Alma Mater Studiorum<\/i>\u2014University of Bologna, Irnerio 48, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3610-2928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrizia","family":"Romualdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, <i>Alma Mater Studiorum<\/i>\u2014University of Bologna, Irnerio 48, 40126 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.ne.07.030184.001255","article-title":"Endogenous opioids: Biology and function","volume":"7","author":"Akil","year":"1984","journal-title":"Annu.
