← ScienceWhich consequence results when polypeptide folding misdirects molecular chaperones?
A)Lysosome-mediated protein degradation decreases
B)Aggregated amyloid fiber formation increases✓
C)Normal cellular proteome expression improves
D)Autophagy-induced ribosome biogenesis ramps
💡 Explanation
Increased misfolding activates degradation pathways; however, if the **hydrophobic effect** causes misdirected assembly, the probability folding traps aggregation increases; therefore insoluble amyloid structures become more prevalent, rather than being degraded.
