Pathway of protein synthesis

Based on the following protein descriptions, draw the pathway of protein synthesis — starting with the mRNA attaching to the ribosome (this is starting at a later step than in question 1). Clearly label all parts of your diagram — including organelles and what is happening in each organelle for each specific protein. In addition, write an explanation of the signal sequences the protein must have for proper synthesis and targeting. Also include the terms such as co- translational, post-translational, anterograde, retrograde (if appropriate). a. Protein X is a soluble protein used for detoxification in the liver. It has a galactose modification. b. Protein “P” is involved in photosynthesis. This protein is not modified. This protein is a type Il transmembrane protein. c. This protein is secreted from the cell. It has N-linked glycosylation modifications. There is an endomembrane diagram posted on Canvas that you can use for your drawings. You may put all 3 pathways on one diagram as long as it is clear, which information goes with which protein. The diagram looks like this: plasma membrane
