Unfolded or wrongly folded proteins undergo degradation in o

Unfolded or wrongly folded proteins undergo degradation in organelles named as ... Peroxisomes Mitochondria Proteasomes Ribosomes What is the mechanism of recognition of protein for degradation?

Solution

6. Ans C proteasomes

The damaged, unfolded or wrongly folded proteins are eliminated from our body by degradation in proteasomes.

The ubiquitine proteasome pathway helps to recognise the proteins which are mis fit. Ub cofactor links to proteins by the action of enzymes,, this tagging process helps the ubiquitinated protein to be recognised and degraded by 26s proteosomes.
