On the other hand, a smooth er does not have ribosomes on its surface. Actually no cellular process takes place in the ribosomes. This metaphor can be traced back to an influential article written by bruce alberts, in which the analogy of the molecular machine was first used to describe the highly coordinated behaviour of large complexes such as the dna replication machinery or the ribosome 3.

This indicates a role for tsr1 in maturation or export of the 43s preribosomal particle since processing of 20s to 18s occurs in the cytoplasm. The dna housed in the nucleus is too large to move through the nuclear membrane, so it must be copied by the smaller, singlestranded rna transcription, which moves out of the nucleus to ribosomes located in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum to direct the assembly of protein translation.

The smooth er lacks ribosomes on its outer membrane and has multiple functions, whereas the rough er is studded with ribosomes and serves as the cells secretory protein and membrane factory. In mammalian cells, proteins destined for secretion, lysosomes, or the plasma membrane are translated on membranebound ribosomes and transferred into the rough er as their translation proceeds. The rough er endoplasmic reticulum function involves the assembly of proteins and the transportation of those assembled ready proteins to where they will be used by the body. Nucleolus which is present inside the nucleus is where the proteins combines with r rna to form ribosomes, but the assembly of ribosomes takes place in cytoplasm. This process has been studied by molecular biologists and biochemists for more than 40 years, but recent advances in high resolution xray structures of the ribosome and its components as.
