Question

Which of the following is a protein modification that can initiate the degradation of the modified protein?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Polyubiquitination via E1-E2-E3 cascade tags proteins with Lys48-linked ubiquitin chains, targeting them to 26S proteasome for degradation. This regulates cell cycle and quality control, unlike lipid modifications which affect localization rather than proteolysis.
