Comments
FIH is s an asparaginyl hydroxylase that negatively regulates transcriptional activation by hypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIF). It is normally found in the cytoplasm, accumulates in the nucleus under hypoxia and can be re-exported when re-oxygenated. Wang et al. found that nuclear exit of FIH is sensitive to LMB, and FIH was found to interact with CRM1 in co-IP. Deletion of the putative NES in 128-137 both abolished export activity and CRM1 interaction. This region is however an alpha-helix within a large domain, while it is located on the outer surface, the hydrophobic side chains are not exposed.

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.
