Question

The following is true about peroxisomal proteins:

They are translated via ribosomes analogous to cotranslational translocation processes

They are translated via ribosomes on the peroxisome similar to type I single pass proteins

They are translated in the cytoplasm and transported into the peroxisome as folded proteins

The peroxisome contains its own set of DNA, RNA, and ribosomes for internal translation

Explanation / Answer

Peroxisomes are derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. Peroxisome matrix proteins are translated in the cytoplasm prior to import. They are translated in the cytoplasm and transported into the peroxisome as folded proteins. Option 3 is correct.
