[edit] References

I'm not sure why the references that were originaly here weren't properly marked in the text. Anyways, I've left them for someone else to clean and prett-i-fy... I just added a reference to the classical NLS.

[edit] Focus?

This article seems to be really focused on the action that is nuclear import' rather than nuclear localization signals. Maybe some discussion about NLSs and disorder, or the different types of NLSs would be good.

I've split the article to put "nuclear import signals" and "mechanism of nuclear import" in different sections, and added a section on nuclear export (currently no more than a link to the Wikipedia article on nuclear export signals). --Rogier Stuger
