  1. Nuclear localization sequence - Wikipedia

    A nuclear localization signal or sequence (NLS) is an amino acid sequence that 'tags' a protein for import into the cell nucleus by nuclear transport. [1] Typically, this signal consists of one or …

  2. NLSExplorer Nuclear Localization Signal Exploration - SJTU

    Nuclear Localization Signals (NLSs) are crucial amino acid sequences within proteins that regulate their transport into the cell nucleus. The entry into the nucleus mediated by these...

  3. Nuclear Localization Signal-Tagged Systems: Relevant Nuclear

    These studies shed light on the influence of particle size and NLS density on the nuclear localization efficiency of NLS-tagged NPs, emphasizing the importance of carefully considering …

  4. Types of nuclear localization signals and mechanisms of protein …

    May 22, 2021 · Here, we briefly review recent studies that defined NLS sequences in the nuclear import of cargo proteins and the mechanisms of protein import mediated by NLS.

  5. Nuclear Localization Sequence - an overview - ScienceDirect

    Nuclear Localization Sequences (NLS) are defined as specific amino acid sequences recognized by importin-α that mediate the transport of proteins, such as BRCA1, from the cytosol to the …

  6. Nuclear Localization Signals Definition - Cell Biology Key Term

    Nuclear localization signals (NLS) are specific amino acid sequences within proteins that direct their transport from the cytoplasm into the nucleus.

  7. Sequence specificity of an essential nuclear localization sequence

    Jan 21, 2025 · Nuclear localization sequences (NLSs), short motifs rich in basic amino acids, are commonly found in nuclear proteins. NLSs work by interacting with importin, a key transport …

  8. Discovering the nuclear localization signal universe through a …

    By analyzing the patterns in nuclear transport segments identified by A2KA, we developed a nuclear transport pattern map to highlight the most common and potentially significant …

  9. NLSdb -- Database of nuclear localization signals | HSLS

    Apr 21, 2014 · Search for information on nuclear localization signals (NLSs) and nuclear proteins. NLSdb is a database of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) and of nuclear proteins targeted to …

  10. What Is Nuclear Localization and How Does It Work?

    Jun 16, 2025 · An NLS is a sequence of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, that tags the protein for nuclear import. This signal consists of a short stretch of positively charged amino …
