Misfolded proteins can cause a plethora of complications such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Mad Cow disease. The RER works around the clock to prevent misfolded proteins from wreaking havoc in YOUR body! Vote RER! #BushCellElection2021
Did you know that there are proteins that exist to fold other proteins? Chaperone proteins help me fold proteins by protecting them and guiding them along. #BushCellElection2021
Why is the RER rough, you ask? The RER is studded with ribosomes that come and go as they deliver proteins in need of being folded. We don’t always get along but at the end of the day I’m glad I’ve got my ribosomes by my side! #BushCellElection2021
Did you know that some types of cells have more RER than others? Plasma cells(white blood cells) have tons of RER so they can produce antibodies(a protein!) to keep YOU safe. #BushCellElection2021
Many organelles in the cell rely on proteins to carry out essential cell functions. For example, proteins in the cell membrane allow for the transport of important nutrients into the cell. Vote RER for proteins! #BushCellElection2021
@NucleusOfDaCell Never said I didn’t need you… but if I didn’t make proteins what would be the point of having those instructions in the first place? You might have the blueprints but I’m the engineer 😎 #BushCellElection2021
@cytoplasm__2021@ribosome_2021 We are… I swear I wasn’t the one who tweeted that. I think it was a misfolded protein. So weird. I’ll get rid of it right away.
Misfolded proteins can cause problems. I keep you and your cells safe by making sure that only the highest quality proteins get past my walls. #VoteRER#BushCellElection2021
