Imagine that you are investigating the production of insulin in normal cells to help determine the cause of faulty insulin production in cells where insulin appears to be synthesized but fails to be secreted from the cell

Question

You design experiments using three different
pharmaceutical compounds to help pinpoint the trouble spot in the protein synthetic pathway.
The first compound blocks transport vesicle movement in the cytoplasm. The second blocks
the SRP release from the ribosome and mRNA. The third compound binds to and blocks the
signal sequence so the SRP cannot recognize it. For each of these three treatments, indicate
1) whether the protein would be made at all, and if so, 2) where in the cell you would find it.

What will be an ideal response?
