Answer:

Explanation:

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species

Botulinum toxin commonly acts by binding to high-affinity recognition sites on the cholinergic nerve terminals and decreasing the release of acetylcholine, causing a neuromuscular blocking effect. Through this mechanism, muscle movement is inhibited in the area it is injected to.

Which of the following statements about the import of protein to the nucleus is correct? Choose all that apply.
dem82 [27]

The correct statements are:

•An NLS can be a monopartite or bipartite signal which includes a significant number of basic amino acids.

• The recycling of importins back to their original conformation requires GTP hydrolysis in the cytoplasm.

The other answers are incorrect because GTP is not required for an importin to bind to an NLS but for the release of importin and an NES or nuclear export signal  is the sequence  in a protein for export from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, not to the nucleolus.
