Organelles & the production of proteins

  • Inside cells multiple organelles are involved in the production and secretion of proteins

  • Organelles involved in protein production, and their roles, include:

    • nucleus

      • DNA is stored

      • The nucleolus manufactures ribosomes

      • Transcription occurs, during which an mRNA copy of DNA is produced

    • ribosomes

      • mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to a ribosome

      • Translation occurs, during which a chain of amino acids is produced; this chain is known as a polypeptide

    • rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)

      • Many ribosomes are attached to the surface of this organelle

      • After translation the polypeptides are folded and processed to produce proteins

    • Golgi apparatus

      • Proteins are modified and prepared for secretion

    • vesicles

      • Proteins are transported from the RER to the Golgi apparatus, and from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface membrane inside vesicles

      • Vesicles fuse with the cell surface membrane to secrete proteins, e.g. hormones, from the cell by exocytosis

  • Cells that produce many proteins, e.g. within hormone-producing glands, or in the enzyme-producing cells of the digestive system, will have many of the organelles that are involved with protein production
