Detailed explanation-3: -While the majority of RNase T2 enzymes is secreted, RNS2 is located within the vacuole and in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), possibly within ER bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -It has been known for decades that vacuoles are the cellular compartment for storage. This includes proteins, mineral salts, organic acids, amino acids, proteins, sugars, nucleic acids, and glycosides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Depending on the cell type and growth conditions, the size of vacuoles is highly dynamic. Different types of cell vacuoles store different substances, such as alkaloids, protein enzymes, inorganic salts, sugars, etc., and play important roles in multiple signaling pathways.
