Comments
NPM is an abundant phosphoprotein with multifunctions such as ribosomal biogenesis, protein chaperoning, and centrosome duplication. NPM is found mainly in the nucleolus, and capable of shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Wang et al. located a N-terminal NES by sequence analysis. They demonstrated LMB treatment, deletion of the putative NES or mutation of the key hydrophobic residues blocks the nucleus-cytoplasmic shuttling ability of NPM. Furthermore, they showed that disruption of CRM1 function by LMB leads to NPM dissociation from centrosomes and a subsequent initiation of premature centrosome duplication. This is in line with the hypothesis that Ran-CRM1 complex negatively regulate the initiation of centrosome duplication, possibly through NES containing protein, like NPM. Yu et al. identified another NES (residue 42-61), whose deletion abolished shuttling.
Doubts about NES: Both NES are quite weak according to Bolli et al. (see reference on NPM mutant, which produce new NES at the C-terminal). Both NESs are buried in PDB. Peptide at 42-61 failed to bind CRM1 in GST-pulldown assay (Chook Lab, unpublished results).

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.
