Following statements are regarding to the FOXO3a protein.

A. In the presence of growth factors, FOXO3a is non phosphorylated and mainly localizes to the nucleus, where it activates transcription of several genes encoding pro-apoptotic proteins.

B. When growth factors are removed from the cells, PKB becomes active and phosphorylates FOXO3a.

C. Phosphorylated FOXO3a binds to cytosolic phosphoserine-binding protein 14-3-3 to bind FOXO3a and thus sequester it in the cytosol.

D. Dephosphorylated FOXO3a binds to cytosolic phosphoserine-binding protein 14-3-3 to bind FOXO3a and thus sequester it in the cytosol.

Some given statements about Auxin signalling pathways are listed;

a) The auxin receptor is composed of two proteins: the SCF complex component TIR1 and the repressor protein AUX/IAA

b) The binding of auxin to its receptor complex initiates ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the AUX/ IAA repressor protein by the 26S proteasome 

c) TIR1 recruits AUX/ IAA proteins to the SCFTIR1  complex in an auxin-independent manner

d) AUX/IAA proteins are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase activity of the SCFTIR1 complex, which marks the protein for destruction by the 26S proteasome

In theory, auxin could increase the rate of proton extrusion by some possible mechanisms such as:

a) Activation of pre-existing plasma membrane H+- ATPases

b) Synthesis of new H+-ATPases on the plasma membrane

c) Auxin-Induced Proton Extrusion May Involve Both Activation and Synthesis
