Which of the following events does not occur in rough endoplasmic reticulum?

  1. Cleavage of signal peptide
  2. Phospholipid synthesis
  3. Protein folding
  4. Protein glycosylation

Answer

(2) Phospholipid synthesis

Solution

As per NCERT, the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), bearing ribosomes on its surface, is actively involved in protein synthesis and secretion.

⇒ Proteins made on RER ribosomes enter the ER lumen, where the signal peptide is cleaved, the chain folds and glycosylation begins.

∵ The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is the major site for synthesis of lipids (phospholipids, steroids),

∴ phospholipid synthesis does not occur in RER.
