Which outcome results when a protein misfolds during translation?

💡 Explanation

Misfolded proteins are targeted for degradation; Protein misfolding activates the unfolded protein response resulting in increased ubiquitination because chaperones fail to properly fold the protein. Therefore, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is intiated, rather than proper function, which is for correct protein folding.
