Question
A protein is normally secreted from the cell. A team of scientists attempts to redirect this protein to the inside of the nucleus by mutating the sequence of the gene. Unfortunately, after this mutation, the protein is no longer secreted, but it is now localized to the cytosol and not the nucleus. Briefly answer the two questions below: Identify the sequence that was mutated by the scientists and explain your reasoning. a. b. What additional mutation must be made by the scientists to redirect this protein to the nucleus? Explain your reasoning.
