__________ controls protein turnover by closely regulating the degradation of specific proteins.
A) Ubiquitination

D) Tertiary structure
E) Protease

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ubiquitination is a process by which specific proteins are marked for degradation by the proteasome. It involves the covalent attachment of ubiquitin molecules to the targeted protein, which then signals the proteasome to recognize and degrade the protein. Thus, by regulating the ubiquitination of specific proteins, cells can control their turnover and levels.
