C. cross bridge formation, power stroke, cross bridge dissociation, power stroke, cocking of myosin

D. cross bridge formation, cocking of myosin, power stroke, cross bridge dissociation

E. cross bridge formation, cross bridge dissociation, cocking of myosin, power stroke

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is option (A).

The localization of the Ran-GAP is in the cytoplasm and the Ran-GEF is in the nucleus. This is necessary for the one-directional import of the cargo proteins. These proteins contain nuclear localization signals. The Ran-GAP is involved in the transport of proteins from the cytosol to the nucleus.

Therefore, Ran-GAP can be expected to be found in the cytoplasm and Ran-GEF is expected to be found in the nucleus.
