Exercise 8

Nuclear Transport. Budding yeast with temperature- sensitive mutations in NTF2 have been identified. In such mutants, NTF2 functions at 25°C. Raising the temperature to 37°C, however, causes the NTF2 protein to stop functioning. What effects would you predict raising these mutant yeast to 37°C would have on nuclear transport Explain your answer.
