_______ "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 the proteasome, or for recycling via autophagy. This is called ubiquitination. Chaperones and folding catalysts are involved in protein folding, while signal sequences are used for protein targeting to specific organelles or compartments. Proteasomes are responsible for degrading proteins tagged with ubiquitin.
