Membrane and soluble secretory proteins synthesized on the rough ER undergo four principal modifications before they reach their final destinations: 

(1) Glycosylation in the ER and Golgi complex

(2) Formation of disulfide bonds in the ER

(3) Proper folding of polypeptide chains and assembly of multisubunit proteins in the ER

(4) Specific proteolytic cleavages in the ER, Golgi complex, and secretory vesicles

Gene Structure

The genes that code for many proteins are broken into pieces. These pieces—the exons—are separated by stretches of noncoding DNA—the introns

Substrate-targeting subunits of the APC/C recognize specific sequence motifs on the proteins that the APC/C ubiquitinates. One motif, the destruction box or D-box, has the consensus sequence
