Abstract excerpt
To investigate the subcellular distributions of Smad proteins, the intracellular mediators of transforming growth factor-beta family cytokines, we examined their sequences for nuclear export signals (NES). We found a leucine-rich NES-like motif (termed NES2) in the central linker region of the receptor-regulated Smads that is absent from the other two classes of Smads (Co-Smads and I-Smads). In microinjection...
