Question

Note to players: Description acceptable Dbp5 helicases free mRNP complexes from associated factors after this process gets accomplished by NXF1 and NXT1. It’s neither transcription nor replication, but genetic analysis of mutant SV40 (“S-V-40”) viruses identified that one form of this process is necessitated by arginine/lysine-rich (“AR-juh-neen LIE-seen”) motifs. (15[1])A complex involved in this process selectively regulates it using a disordered matrix abundant with FG repeats. (15[1])Proteins destined for this process are “tagged” with (-5[1])(*) NES (-5[1])or NLS sequences. This process (-5[1])is cyclically mediated via the establishment of Ran-GDP and Ran-GTP concentration (-5[1])gradients. During this process, importins and exportins help macromolecules travel between a basket-shaped pore complex. For 10 points, name this process of moving (10[1])cargo in and out (-5[1])of a chromosome-storing organelle. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])

ANSWER: nuclear transport [or nucleocytoplasmic transport; accept nuclear shuttling; accept nuclear import; accept nuclear export; accept nuclear localization; accept descriptions about transporting material in and out of the nucleus; prompt on cargo transport; prompt on diffusion]
