Sakutia disease is characterized by an increase of theta-trifle proteins in skeletal muscles. These theta-trifle proteins are actually produced by the cleaving of the trifle protein (TP). After synthesis of TP is complete, it is possible that certain peptide bonds within TP can be broken (or cleaved); one of the pieces left over after the cleaving is theta-trifle. Obviously, this cleavage is increased in individuals with Sakutia. The generation of theta-trifle protein is a result of... Group of answer choices posttranslational modification of the TP protein. alternative splicing of the TP gene. degenerate translation of the TP protein. cotranscriptional modification of the TP gene.
