Characterization of an Unusual Importin α Binding Motif in the Borna Disease Virus p10 Protein That Directs Nuclear Import
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Nuclear import of many cellular and viral proteins is mediated by short nuclear localization signals (NLS) that are recognized by intracellular receptor proteins belonging to the importin/karyopherin alpha and beta families. The primary structure of NLS is not well defined, but most contain at least three basic amino acids and harbor the relative consensus sequence K(K/R)X(K/R). We have studied the nuclear import...
