title: No country for old misfolded glycoproteins.
abstract: Gauss et al. (2011) present evidence that an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sugar-removing enzyme with a folding sensor subunit enables a stochastic quality control mechanism, which marks with increasing probability misfolded glycoproteins for destruction the longer they reside in the ER.
