Which outcome occurs when a misfolded protein evades proteasomal degradation?

A)Enhanced rate of endocytosis occurs
B)Molecular chaperone refolding is accelerated
C)Amyloid plaque aggregate accumulates extracellularly
D)Intracellular ribosome production is activated

💡 Explanation

Amyloid plaque forms, triggered by proteasome failure. Protein aggregation results from a disruption in proteostasis via nucleation; because the ubiquitin-proteasome system fails, the misfolded protein aggregates extracellularly. Aggregation rather than endocytosis occurs because proteasomes recycle misfolded intracellular molecules.
