The Dsc ubiquitin ligase complex identifies transmembrane degrons to degrade orphaned proteins at the Golgi

Abstract The Golgi apparatus is essential for protein sorting, yet its quality control mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we show that the Dsc ubiquitin ligase complex uses its rhomboid pseudo-protease subunit, Dsc2, to assess the hydrophobic length of α-helical transmembrane domains (TMDs) at t...
