Comments
Ujike et al.’s subcellular localization studies show that nucleoplasmid (N) protein of bovine Torovirus (a positive-stranded RNA virus), BToN, distinctive from others in the Coronavirus family, was initially nucleolar in infected cells and was subsequently transported to the mainly nucleoplasm during late infection with a minor population found in the cytoplasm, suggesting the presence of trafficking signals within the protein. NESmapper and LocNES predicted two NES motifs, 18-VVAMPI-23 (NES1) and 153-IATFTIKVAL-162 (NES2 – class 1d consensus). Using quantitative fluorescence intensity analysis (QFIA) of cellular localization of EGFP fusion proteins where regions containing putative nuclear localization signals were removed, minimal region required for NES activity was identified to be residues 152-163, however this had lower export activity when compared to the longer construct 129-163. The cellular localization of EGFP proteins fused to full length nor residues 129-163 of N were not LMB sensitive, raising doubt of the CRM1-dependence of the putative NES. Alanine mutations to residues matching NES consensus, from single to 4 alanines in total, however, did result in weaker NES activity, with the effect of F156A and V160A being the most prominent, suggesting they are essential for 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.
