The localization and translational control of actin mRNA is important for the migration of fibroblasts and is regulated by the activity of the kinase Src (see Figure 18.10 ). Src is activated by phosphorylation when cell surface receptors bind to signaling molecules. How might this system lead to a cell migrating in a specific direction? How might the cell migrate away from repulsive signals?

A protein complex in the nucleus is responsible for transporting mRNA molecules into the cytoplasm. Describe the proteins that form this exporter. What two protein groups are likely behind the mechanism involved in the directional movement of the mRNP and exporter into the cytosol.
Suppose the signaling pathway in Figure 15.3 were to lead to the activation of a gene that inhibits a cyclin-dependent kinase responsible for moving a cell into S phase of the cell cycle. How would a debilitating mutation in protein kinase 3 affect the cell's growth?
