A functional nuclear localization sequence in the VP1 capsid protein of coxsackievirus B3

► The VP1 protein of coxsackievirus B3 can specifically localize in the nucleus. ► The nuclear localization signal of coxsackievirus B3 VP1 protein locates near its C-terminal. ► The VP1 nuclear localization of coxsackievirus B3 can deregulate cell cycle. ► There is a domain in the VP1 that determines it dotted distributed in the cytoplasm.
