A zinc finger is a small protein structural motif that is characterized by the coordination of one or more zinc ions (Zn 2+) which stabilizes the fold. The term zinc finger was originally coined to describe the finger-like appearance of a hypothesized structure from the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) transcription factor IIIA.
Zinc finger protein 91 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZFP91 gene. [5] [6] The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the zinc finger family of proteins. The gene product contains C2H2 type domains, which are the classical zinc finger domains found in numerous nucleic acid-binding proteins.
The protein encoded by this gene contains an AT-hook DNA binding motif, which usually binds to other DNA binding structures to play an important role in chromatin modeling and transcription regulation. Its Poz domain is thought to function as a site for protein-protein interaction and is required for transcriptional repression, and the zinc ...
This gene on the X chromosome is structurally similar to a related gene on the Y chromosome ().It encodes a member of the krüppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. The full-length protein contains an acidic transcriptional activation domain (AD), a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and a DNA binding domain (DBD) consisting of 13 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
In molecular biology the B-box-type zinc finger domain is a short protein domain of around 40 amino acid residues in length. B-box zinc fingers can be divided into two groups, where types 1 and 2 B-box domains differ in their consensus sequence and in the spacing of the 7-8 zinc-binding residues.
Zinc finger Y-chromosomal protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZFY gene of the Y chromosome. [3] [4] This gene encodes a zinc finger-containing protein that may function as a transcription factor. This gene was once a candidate gene for the testis-determining factor (TDF) and was erroneously referred to as TDF. [4]

These large nuclear proteins interact with numerous transcription factors and viral oncoproteins, including p53 tumour suppressor protein, E1A oncoprotein, MyoD, and GATA-1, and are involved in cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. [1] Both CBP and P300 have two copies of the TAZ domain, one in the N-terminal region, the other in the C ...
