Comments
SOD1 is a free-radical scavenging enzyme, which is mostly studied for its pathological aggregation and its association with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Zhong et al. found that pathological mutants G85R and G93A are enriched in the cytoplasm when compared to wild type SOD1 in a LMB-sensitive manner. A putative NES can be identified that matches traditional NES consensus. Peptide was able to direct nuclear export and both peptide and full length protein can bind to CRM1 in a Ran-dependent manner in vitro. This NES sequence is normally part of a folded beta-sheet domain and is inaccessible to CRM1, but disease mutations or other chemical stimuli can cause the protein to unfold and expose the NES. Note that initiator methionine is removed in the sequence to match numbering in the paper.

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.
