Comments
Krüppel-like factor 6 (KFL6) is a tumor suppressor that binds DNA with three zinc finger (ZF) domains at its C-terminus. Rodriguez et al. narrowed the NLS to the ZF (202-256) and defined a CRM1-dependent NES at its very N-terminal. KLF6's splice variant-1, a naturally occurring inactivating mutant of KLF6 as defined and discussed in the literature, also contains the same NES. While KLF6 is associated with tumor suppressor function, KLF6-SV1 is known for its oncogenic/anti-apoptotic function. KLF6 has a noticeable short half-life and its turnover is dependent upon the NLS and NES, as disruptions in either of them altered protein stability. The KLF6 zinc-fingers, NLS, as well as NES contribute to its decreased protein stability. KLF6-SV1 lacks the NLS but is found in the nucleus, possible through binding KLF6 or other actively shuttling proteins. KLF6 mutations, particularly in the NES and NLS domains, have been identified in various cancers. Furthermore, deregulation of KLF6 and increased production of KLF6-SV1 have been associated with increased tumor stage, chemoresistance, and poor prognosis.

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.
