Document Summary

The er and golgi make the secretory pathway. Proteins that are destined to be secreted, proteins are sent outside of the cell. Proteins that sit on the plasma membrane go through secretory pathway, they just don"t leave the cell, they stay on the membrane: proteins are synthesized on ribosomes that attach themselves to the. Er as opposed to free ribosomes that never attach themselves to the. What determines if a protein is synthesized in the cytosol, on free ribosomes, or on ribosomes that associate with the er is determined by protein targeting. Protein targeting: how you get proteins to specific compartments/organelles. Protein targeting to the er how proteins get to secretory pathway. Mrna with the signal peptide binds to ribosomes that are initially free, the signal peptide is recognized by the signal recognition particle, this directs the ribosome to the er: signal recognition particle and translocation complex interact.
