Protein degradation: BAGging up the trash

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Cells efficiently uncover and degrade proteins that are misfolded. However, we know very little about what cells do to protect themselves from mislocalized proteins. A new study reveals a novel quality control pathway that recognizes and degrades secretory pathway proteins that have failed to target to the endoplasmic reticulum.
