Nuclear Localization Sequence (end)

This part codes for a peptide sequence that, when placed upstream of a gene sequence, codes for a peptide that indicates that the remaining portion of the translated protein will remain in the cell (specifically in the nucleus) rather then get excreted by the cell. The translated amino acid sequence of the NLS includes PKKKRRV and is classified as a classic nuclear localization sequence (cNLS). Such sequences are considered the best characterized transport signal [1]. This particular sequence exists immediately after the second to last codon of a coding sequence, and includes a glycine-serine linker (GGS) right before the cNLS to link the coding sequence to the NLS.
