  2. Zinc finger transcription factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_Finger_Transcription...

    Zinc finger protein transcription factors can be encoded by genes small enough to fit a number of such genes into a single vector, allowing the medical intervention and control of expression of multiple genes and the initiation of an elaborate cascade of events. In this respect, it is also possible to target a sequence that is common to ...

  3. Zinc finger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_finger

    Zinc fingers were first identified in a study of transcription in the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis in the laboratory of Aaron Klug.A study of the transcription of a particular RNA sequence revealed that the binding strength of a small transcription factor (transcription factor IIIA; TFIIIA) was due to the presence of zinc-coordinating finger-like structures. [6]

  4. GATA zinc finger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GATA_zinc_finger

    In molecular biology, GATA zinc fingers are zinc-containing domains found in a number of transcription factors (including erythroid-specific transcription factor and nitrogen regulatory proteins). Some members of this class of zinc fingers specifically bind the DNA sequence (A/T)GATA(A/G) in the regulatory regions of genes ., [ 1 ] giving rise ...

  5. Kruppel-like factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruppel-like_factors

    These transcription factors have a conserved structural homology between mammalian species, which allow for similar function due to similar protein interaction motifs at the N-terminal domains. The C-terminal end is also highly conserved with both the first and second zinc finger have 25 amino acids, while the third has 23 amino acids.

  6. ZNF384 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZNF384

    This gene encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger protein, which may function as a transcription factor. This gene also contains long CAG trinucleotide repeats that encode consecutive glutamine residues. The protein appears to bind and regulate the promoters of the extracellular matrix genes MMP1, MMP3, MMP7 and COL1A1. Studies in mouse suggest that ...

  7. IKZF3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKZF3

    This gene encodes a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger proteins. Three members of this protein family (Ikaros, Aiolos and Helios) are hematopoietic-specific transcription factors involved in the regulation of lymphocyte development. This gene product is a transcription factor that is important in the regulation of B lymphocyte ...

  8. GLI2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLI2

    Zinc finger protein GLI2 also known as GLI family zinc finger 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GLI2 gene. [5] The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor . [ 6 ]

  9. CXXC5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CXXC5

    CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 is a protein that is encoded by the CXXC5 gene in humans. [5] [6] [7] [8]As indicated by its name, the CXXC5 plays a role as a transcription factor in the nucleus of cells, and involved in myelopoiesis, endothelial differentiation, vessel formation, and oligodendrocyte differentiation.
