Protein NEDDylation increases upon proteotoxic stress but the function of this response remains to be elucidated. Here, the authors show that NEDDylation contributes to the cellular defence against proteotoxicity by promoting nuclear protein aggregation and protecting the ubiquitin proteasome system.
