nuclear localization signal(NLS)
This nuclear localization sequence(NLS) derived from SV40 directs the protein into the nucleus.
Usage and Biology
A nuclear localization signal (NLS) is a short stretch of amino acids that mediates the transport of nuclear proteins to the nucleus. The NLS motif plays a key role in this mechanism; (i) normally, deletion of NLS disrupts nuclear import; (ii) if fused to NLS, normally non-nuclear proteins are imported into the nucleus.[1]
