Proteolytic processing of eukaryotic proteins involves:

A) removal of a portion of the polypeptide chain from an inactive protein precursor
B) the addition of one or more functional groups to a precursor protein
C) the removal of one or more functional groups from a precursor protein
D) removal of histones
E) removing the cap and tail of a newly synthesized protein

Proteolytic Processing

The cleavage of protein precursors into smaller fragments or individual units, a crucial step in many biological processes.

Eukaryotic Proteins

Proteins found in eukaryotic cells that play various roles in cellular functions and processes.

Polypeptide Chain

A chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, which forms part of the structure of a protein.
