  1. tends to target proteins with basic amino acid residues at their N-terminal ends


  2. Well I know B is a good answer, because ubiquitinylation targets proteins for degradation by the proteasome.  But I can't say I recall exactly with respect to D...that might be correct too but I'm not sure.  I know A and C are false.

    I know ubiquitin is added to Lysine residues which do indeed have basic side chains, but if you don't have a "both B and D" choice I don't know if I can tell you which one it's supposed to be.
