摘要

Misfolded proteins are potentially toxic and are therefore subjected to highly selective degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The identification of the Hul5 ubiquitin ligase as a major mediator of such 'quality-control' ubiquitylation following heat shock raises new questions about the design of these pathways.
