The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway, which orchestrates the degradation of ER proteins by the proteasome, involves a plethora of proteins with diverse functions. Using a combination of proteomic and genetic approaches, a recent study provides fresh insights into the organization of the mammalian ERAD interaction network and the functions of its components.
