_____ "tag" misfolded proteins so that they can be refolded or sent to proteasomes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ubiquitin molecules tag misfolded proteins for degradation by proteasomes. Chaperones are proteins that help with protein folding but do not tag the misfolded proteins. Folding catalysts are enzymes that help with protein folding but do not tag the misfolded proteins. Signal sequences are sequences of amino acids that help target a protein to a specific location within the cell but do not tag misfolded proteins for degradation.
