Inhibition of virus DNA replication by artificial zinc finger proteins.
Prevention of virus infections is a major objective in agriculture and human health. One attractive approach to the prevention is inhibition of virus replication. To demonstrate this concept in vivo, an artificial zinc finger protein (AZP) targeting the replication origin of the Beet severe curly top virus (BSCTV), a model DNA virus, was created. In vitro DNA binding assays indicated that the A...
متن کاملNatural and artificial zinc finger proteins
Zinc finger proteins acquire DNA-binding ability by Zn (II) complexation. In the zinc finger domain of the Cys2His2 type, each finger is approximately 30 amino acid residues long and consists of a simple ββα–fold stabilized by chelation of a zinc ion with the conserved Cys2His2 residues. A zinc finger motif of Cys2His2 offers an attractive framework for the design of a novel DNA-binding protein...
متن کاملExpression by the Zinc Finger Transcription Factor ZNF24 Repression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis. Although many positive regulators of VEGF have been identified, relatively little is known regarding the negative regulation of VEGF expression. We identified a zinc finger transcription factor, ZNF24, that may repress VEGF transcription. An inverse correlation between expression of VEGF and ZNF24 was observed in ...

متن کاملTranscription Regulation of E-Cadherin by Zinc Finger E-Box Binding Homeobox Proteins in Solid Tumors
Downregulation of E-cadherin in solid tumors with regional migration and systematic metastasis is well recognized. In view of its significance in tumorigenesis and solid cancer progression, studies on the regulatory mechanisms are important for the development of target treatment and prediction of clinical behavior for cancer patients. The vertebrate zinc finger E-box binding homeobox (ZEB) pro...
