Their findings suggest that the protein plays a role in increasing stress
on the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle involved in transporting and processing materials within cells.
They then separated the cells into two groups — those containing mRNAs associated with ribosomes
on the endoplasmic reticulum, and those containing mRNAs associated with free - floating ribosomes in the neighboring fluid - filled space known as the cytosol.
