Hydrophobic transmembrane segments of which proteins are not synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum?(a) integral membrane proteins(b) lysosomal proteins(c) steroids(d) secretory proteinsThe question was posed to me in an interview.The query is from Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems topic in section Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems of Cell Biology

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) integral membrane proteins

The explanation: Unlike SECRETORY and lysosomal proteins, integral membrane proteins are not completely synthesized in the ENDOPLASMIC reticulum. ONE more or hydrophobic segment of these proteins are shunted DIRECTLY from the translocon to the phospholipid bilayer.
