Question
Chapter 12, Problem 64RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role of ubiquitin in the degradation of proteins is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Protein degradation is a process that must be heavily controlled.
The degradation pathways are restricted to sub-cellular organelles, such as lysosomes or two micromolecular structures called proteasomes.
Proteins are directed to lysosomes by a specific signal sequence, often added in a posttranslational modification step.
