Proposed model for the Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathway in mammals. A stalled ribosome collides with the following ribosome, and ZNF598 ubiquitinates the collided ribosomes. In yeast, it was proposed that the RQT complex dissociates the ubiquitinated ribosome(s) into subunits but the complex that recognizes and splits ubiquitinated ribosome(s) is unknown in mammals. Nascent peptide on the 60S subunit is ubiquitinated by Listerin, and released from the ribosome by ANKZF1 and p97. Then, the ubiquitinated polypeptides are degraded by the proteasome.
