Comments
pUL4 of the herpes simplex virus is a true late protein with little known functions, and is proposed to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm. It has been found to co-localize with ICP22, an early protein, in small dense nuclear bodies. Pan et al. demonstrated that there is one CRM1-dependent NES at the C-terminus of pUL4. Funk et al. also found this protein to have nuclear export activity using Nuclear EXport Trapped by RAPamycin (NEX-TRAP).

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.
