Protein degradation
• For some proteins, more than 80%
of peptides may not fold properly.
These are removed from the ER
and degraded.
• Retrotranslocation (or dislocation)
• Uses the same Sec61 translocator
• N-glycanase removes the
oligosaccharide.
• Ubiquitin chain added to protein
which marks it for degradation in
the proteasome.
