Production Of Proteins Flashcards
1
Q
The organelles involved in the production of proteins
A
-nucleus, ribosomes, RER, GA, membrane
2
Q
What is transcription?
A
-gene - mRNA
3
Q
Translation
A
-mRNA - protein
4
Q
Process of production of proteins
A
- Nucleus stores DNA
- DNA is copied into a molecule of mRNA via transcription
- mRNA strand leaves nucleus via pore - attaches to ribosome on RER
- Ribosome reads genetic instructions - synthesises a protein via translation
- Passes into lumen of RER to be folded
- Processes proteins go to GA in vesicles
- GA modifies them - prep for secretion
- Leave via vesicles
- Fuse with cell surface membrane -releasing proteins
