Electrostatic Interactions Involving the Extreme C Terminus of Nuclear Export Factor CRM1 Modulate Its Affinity for Cargo*

The toroid-shaped nuclear protein export factor CRM1 is constructed from 21 tandem HEAT repeats, each of which contains an inner (B) and outer (A) α-helix joined by loops. Proteins targeted for export have a nuclear export signal (NES) that binds between the A-helices of HEAT repeats 11 and 12 on th...
