Document Summary

This is how proteins exit the cell: membrane proteins (proteins that sit in the membrane) are made the same way. Only difference is that they don"t leave the cell. b. In both cases the proteins are synthesized by ribosomes that attach themselves to the er, as opposed to free ribosomes which do not attach themselves to the. Er: what decides whether a protein is synthesized in the cytosol (free ribosomes) or in the. Er: answer is protein targeting, most of this is accomplished when the protein is initially synthesized. A signal peptide is added to an aa end of the protein. A signal recognition particle (srp) recognizes the signal peptide and directs the ribosome to the er. A translocation complex located on the er interacts with the srp: when the protein initially starts to get made, the signal peptide is recognized and pulled towards the er.
