Summary Introduction

To explain: How the polypeptide being secreted reaches the endomembrane system.

Concept introduction:

The proteins which are to be secreted are synthesized on ribosomes and bound to rough endoplasmic reticulum. These proteins reach the endomembrane system and are transported in transport vesicles from Golgi apparatus to the outer part of the cell. The endomembrane system is a group of organelles and membranes and the system includes the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, and golgi apparatus. They work simultaneously to manufacture and transport proteins and lipids.

Ribosomes in the cytoplasm capture mRNA that can be translated into an enzyme for the lysosome. a) Explain what happens from the time the enzyme begins to form in the cytoplasm until it ends up in the lysosome and also explains how the enzyme is transported to the lysosome?
Using the the enzyme acid hydrolase in the lysosome: What is the final destination in which the protein will function? Which features will the protein receive during its manufacture? What is the primary structure (general)? Where is the primary structure made? Where are the secondary and tertiary structures made? Will the protein travel through any organelles during its manufacture? Which ones? What would be the overall result if some part of the manufacture process went wrong, such that the protein ended up as nonfunctional?
Why exosome complex destroys the mRNA ?
