In this patient, the proteins that usually take the process of post-translational to incorporate their organelle, take now the process of cotranslational, and vice-versa.
In this patient, for cotranslational, we would have proteins for organelles such as mitochondria, nucleus, vacuole, and peroxisomes.
For post-translational,
we would have proteins for organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, plasma membrane, and lysomes.
