Ribosomes in the cytoplasm (cytosol) capture mRNA that can be translated into an enzyme (in this case a protease) to the lysosome. a) Describe what happens from the time the enzyme (protease) begins to form in the cytoplasm until it end up in the lysosome and explain how the enzyme is transported to the lysosome.

Proteins to be secreted start their synthesis on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. What path do they take from there? Nucleus- ER- Lysosome- Plasma membrane ER- Lysosome- Plasma membrane Golgi - ER- Lysosome - Plasma membrane ER- Golgi- Plasma membrane

Ribosomes can be either free (in the cytosol) or bound (attached to the rough ER). Consider the list of proteins below and determine which would be synthesized by a bound ribosome. Hint #1: Remember that free ribosomes synthesize proteins that will remain in the cytosol or travel to the nucleus. Bound ribosomes synthesize proteins that will be used within the endomembrane system or be secreted from the cell - for example proteins destined for the cell membrane, the extracellular matrix, or for destinations outside the cell (e.g., hormones, neurotransmitters). Hint #2: Look up the functions of the proteins below and determine their destination. GLUT2 BRCA1 primase topoisomerase LDLR collagen
