The E1B-55K and E4orf6 proteins of adenovirus type 5 are involved
in viral mRNA export. Here we demonstrate that adenovirus infection
does not inhibit the function of the E1B-55K nuclear export signal and
that E1B-55K also shuttles in infected cells. Even during virus
infection, E1B-55K was exported by the leptomycin B-sensitive CRM1
pathway, whereas E4orf6 transport appeared to be mediated by an
alternative mechanism. Our results strengthen the potential role of
E1B-55K as the "driving force" for adenoviral late mRNA export.
