Whereas newly synthesized proteins that have acquired a properly folded and assembled structure are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to their final destinations, incompletely folded and assembled proteins are, as a rule, retained and eventually degraded. The molecular mechanisms of this unique molecular sorting phenomenon, called 'quality control', have been illuminated by recent studies.
新合成的蛋白质若已获得正确折叠和组装的结构,便会从内质网转运至其最终目的地,而未完全折叠和组装的蛋白质通常会被滞留并最终降解。这种被称为“质量控制”的独特分子分选现象的分子机制,已被近期的研究所阐明。
