Question:

Edit each of the following statements, if required, to make them true: “Because nuclear localization sequences are not cleaved off by proteases following protein import into the nucleus, they can be reused to import nuclear proteins after mitosis, when cytosolic and nuclear proteins have become intermixed. This is in contrast to ER signal sequences, which are cleaved off by a signal peptidase once they reach the lumen of the ER. ER signal sequences cannot therefore be reused to import ER proteins after mitosis, when cytosolic and ER proteins have become intermixed; these ER proteins must therefore be degraded and resynthesized.”
