Glycosylation ; Degradation ; Ribosome.
C
Ubiquitination ; Degradation ; Proteome.

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the process described: The problem involves the covalent attachment of peptides to a target protein, which is a key feature of ubiquitination.
Understand the outcome of the process: Ubiquitination typically leads to the degradation of the target protein.
Determine the cellular machinery involved: The degradation of ubiquitinated proteins is carried out by the proteasome.
Match the descriptions to the options provided: The correct sequence is 'Ubiquitination ; Degradation ; Proteasome'.
Review the incorrect options: Glycosylation involves sugar attachment, not peptides. Acetylation involves acetyl groups, not leading to degradation by the proteasome.
