State

Post-translational regulation modifies a finished protein's activity or tags it for degradation, acting only after translation has already produced it.

Show

A ubiquitin tag marks a finished protein for degradation by the proteasome, ending its activity without touching the mRNA that made it.

Watch for

Post-translational regulation acts at the opposite end from Bio 1333's translational regulation — after a protein exists, not before.
