Bug#681271: ITP: predictnls -- PredictNLS is an automated tool for the analysis and in silico determination of Nuclear Localization Signals (NLS). In NLS discovery mode, PredictNLS searches a query protein for known and potential NLS's in NLSdb to determine if a protein is likely to be targeted to the nucleus. If the protein is determined to be nuclear, the program also reports if a known DNA binding motif is found. In Motif detection mode, the program can help you decide if a sequence motif is likely to act as a nuclear localization signal. The PredictNLS website also documents the largest collection of experimentally determined NLS's.

PredictNLS predicts if your protein is nuclear.  If no NLS is found you can predict the subcellular localization of the protein using loctree.
