A scientist is studying the function of a type of nuclear steroid receptor protein in mouse cells. she introduces various mutations into the gene encoding the receptor protein and transfers the genes into mice. how will the molecular pathway of hormone-receptor interaction be altered if she eliminates the nuclear import signal in the receptor protein?
For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer to the question is that the steroid receptor protein cannot enter the nucleus so the gene of interest is repressed even in the presence of the hormone. I hope this helps
