Comments
Despite its small size, protein 9b is located to the cytoplasm. This may be due to the active export by CRM1. In crystal structure, protein 9b is a 2-fold symmetric dimer of two adjacent twisted β-sheets interlocked in a handshake manner. The NESs in the two dimers have slightly different secondary structures.

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.
