Comments
PKIα is an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and it also controls its localization. The first 25 residues contains the high affinity binding region, followed by kinase pseudo-substrate sequence. Residues 35-49 can function autonomously as an export signal. It has been shown to export GST, as well as the catalytic subunit of cAPK in complex with its inhibitor. Residues 35-44 form α-helix structure as shown by chemical shift index analysis. 3D structures (1CMK, 1XH6, and 2UVZ)are protein complexes containing fragment 6-25 of PKI-alpha. 3NBY is a complex of CRM1-RanGTP-SNUPN with PKI NES.

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.
