Comments
APOBEC1 catalyze the C to U RNA editing of apoB mRNA. The reaction requires APOBEC1 complementation factor ACF. Chester et al. demonstrated that APOBEC1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a LMB dependent manner using a heterokyaron assay. Deletion experiment showed that removal of the last 81 aa resulted in the nucleus accumulation, so did multating the four leucines between aa 173-182 to phenylalanine. Yang et al. showed that aa 173-187 can direct the export of reporter protein SV40NLS-CMPK. Note that there is controversy regarding the trafficking of this protein. Yang et al. showed that neither the full length protein or aa 168-229 can replace the export function of HIV-Rev. And the cellular distribution of APOBEC1 is insensitive to LMB. However, this is probably due to the fact that APOBEC1 is small and can diffuse through NPC.

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.
