<P> In prokaryotes ( bacteria ) , translation occurs in the cytoplasm , where the large and small subunits of the ribosome bind to the mRNA . In eukaryotes , translation occurs in the cytosol or across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum in a process called co-translational translocation . In co-translational translocation , the entire ribosome / DNA complex binds to the outer membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) and the new protein is synthesized and released into the cytosol ; the newly created polypeptide can be stored inside the ER for future vesicle transport and secretion outside the cell , or immediately secreted . </P>
