Crystal structure of the M1 protein‐binding domain of the influenza A virus nuclear export protein (NEP/NS2)
Introduction
Results and discussion
Proteolysis of NEP defines an N‐terminal domain with RanGTP‐dependent Crm1 binding activity and a C‐terminal M1‐binding domain

Cover. Australian Noisy Miners, Manorina melanocephala, feeding amongst fruit of the Queen Palm. Noisy Miners range along the eastern coast of Australia. They breed cooperatively, and many helpers, usually males, contribute to feeding the young. The fleshy orange fruit of the Queen or Cocos Palm, Syagrus romanzoffiana, a native of South America but commonly planted in Australian gardens, is favoured by many animals, particularly fruit bats.
