Comments
Viral protein HBZ is a bZIP domain containing protein that interacts with various host transcription factors and promotes growth in adult T-cell leukemia. Mukai and Oshima found that co-expression with of HBZ with GADD34 caused increased cytoplasmic localization of HBZ (possibly by retention), while HBZ accumulated in the nucleus when treated with LMB. Truncation analysis revealed the N-terminal 33 residues to be the region with NES activity, containing possibly 2 NESs. Only mutating 21-23 or 30-33 did not cause nuclear accumulation of HBZ 1-33, which supports the hypothesis that this region has 2 active NESs. HBZ-SI isoform lacks residues 1-7 and mutations of 21-23 and 30-33 equivalent residues both caused reduction in nuclear export.

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.
