2. Describe the subcellular scheme by which a transmembrane cell surface receptor protein such as the platelet derived growth factor receptor gets synthesized and placed at the cell surface. Start with a gene (DNA) but focus primarily on cellular endomembrane systems.
GENE IS TRANSCIBED IN NUCLEUS mRNA IS TRANSPORTED TO CYTOPLASM HERE IN CYTOPLASM IT ATTACHES WITH RIBOSOMES AND TRASLATED WITH THE HELP OF tRNA. RIBOSOMES ATTACHED ARE FREE OR IN ATTACHMENT WITH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM i.e. ER A MEMBRANE BOUND ORGANELLE (SUCH ER WITH RIBOSOME ATTACHED ARE CALLED ROUGH ER). SO PROTEIN FORMED ENTERS THE RER AND FORMS VESICLES OF PROTEIN THROUGH ITS SMOOTH ER. VESICLE IS ALSO A MEMEBRANE BOUND ORGANELLE AS BULB COMING OUT OF SMOOTH ER AND BASED ON ITS RANDOM MOVEMENT OR ITS AFFINITY IT MERGE WITH THE CELL MEMBRANE. PROTEIN INSIDE THE VESICLE EMBEDS ITSELF AS TRANSMEMBRANE OR INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF MEMBRANE BASED ON THE THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY OF PROTEIN OR AFFINITY OF PROTEIN WITH OTHER MOLECULES (MAY BE OTHER PROTEIN OR ANY 3 D STRUCTURE)
