Comments
Apoptin possesses tumor cell-specific proapoptotic activity, which is linked to its ability to localized in the nucleus of transformed cells. The protein harbors two NLSs and one NES, which can be regulated by the phosphorylation of T108. Notably, a leucine-rich sequence (aa 33-46) is not a NES. Instead, it promotes nuclear accumulation.

User Input
Accurate identification of NESs is difficult because many sequences in the genome match the NES consensus. Therefore, some published NESs may be mistakenly identified. Please help us improve the accuracy of NESdb by providing either a positive or negative flag for the NES in this entry. Supporting comments are required to process the flag.
