Comments
CCTα is an enzyme responsible for generation of cell membranes, pulmonary surfactant, lipoproteins, bile, etc. CCTα is distributed with the cytoplasm and nucleus in ling epithelia. The inactive, soluble, cytoplasmic form of CCTα becomes ative after translocation to the endoplasmic reticulum or nuclear membrane. Agassandian et al. showed that CCTα is a substrate of calmodulin kinase I (CaMKI), which docks within the membrane-binding domain of CCTα (aa 290-299). Agassandian et al. also showed that the same sequence is a NES, capable of targeting CFP to the cytoplasm in a LMB sensitive manner. The binding of CCTα to CRM1 is direct and in competition with CaMKI.

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.
