Question:

Proteins made in the cytoplasm?

So my book says, proteins made in the cytoplasm are destined the function in the cytoplasm, while proteins made in the RER are destined to stay in the RER or be exported out of the cell.

Then a couple chapters later it asks me where chromosomal proteins are made, and I get stuck! So I find that they're made in the cytoplasm. Wait, does the cytoplasm include the nucleus??

Hmm, can I still follow the originally stated guidelines or am I missing something?

  1. Proteins that work in the nucleus are made in the cytoplasm and then transported into the nucleus through a nuclear pore complex.  It's like a gate that lets things in and out of the nucleus.
