Proteolytic Degradation

The Process of Protein Degradation in a Proteosome

The Process of Protein Degradation in a Proteosome

Schematic of the proteolytic degradation pathway that utilizes proteasomal complexes. The protein is tagged with several ubiquitin signals that target the proteasome. Once the protein arrives at the proteasome, the protein is degraded into its amino acids which are then reused for synthesis of new proteins.
