Abstract excerpt
Proteins destined for secretion in eukaryotic cells enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in an unfolded state and are properly folded in this organelle and sent to their final destination. Misfolded or orphan proteins are retained in the ER by a quality control system, retrotranslocated into the cytosol and degraded. Soluble and membrane proteins were found to require a basic machinery for elimination. It is...
