Beta secretase 1 (BACE1) is acetylated on 7 lysine residues inthe ER lumen (7K-BACE1). This protects the nascent protein from degradation in the ER Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and allows it to reach the Golgi apparatus (Kandalepas & Vassar 2014). The mechanism of this translocation is unknown.
