Ribophorin - Synthesis of The Ribophorins

Synthesis of The Ribophorins

The synthesis of ribophorins is carried out in the cytoplasm and each kind of ribophorin has a different gen. This way, ribophorin I is encoded by the RPN1 gen. Otherwise, ribophorin II is encoded by the RPN2 gen. Moreover, each gen will translate a signal sequence to indicate the ribophorin destiny. In the case of humans, the sequence is formed by 23 amino acids for ribophorin I; and in ribophorin II, it has 22 aminoacids.

In the chromosome, the gens are displayed in a specific locus; so that, in humans RPN1 is located at 3q21.3 (in chromosome 3) and RPN2 is found at the locus 20q12-q13.1 (in chromosome 20). In total, ribophorin I and II are composed by 607 and 632 amino acids respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words synthesis of the, synthesis of and/or synthesis:

    It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.
    Andre Maurois (1885–1967)

    Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.”
    Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

    The new shopping malls make possible the synthesis of all consumer activities, not least of which are shopping, flirting with objects, idle wandering, and all the permutations of these.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
