Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of post-translational control: It refers to the regulation of protein activity after it has been synthesized, which can involve various modifications.
Recognize that post-translational control is distinct from gene splicing, transcriptional regulation, and RNA interference, which occur at different stages of gene expression.
Identify that protein modification is a key aspect of post-translational control, as it involves changes to the protein structure or function after translation.
Consider examples of protein modifications, such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, and ubiquitination, which can alter protein activity, stability, or localization.
Conclude that another name for post-translational control is protein modification, as it encompasses the various changes proteins undergo after being synthesized.
