Zinc Finger Database (ZiFDB): a repository for information on C2H2 zinc fingers and engineered zinc-finger arrays
Zinc fingers are the most abundant DNA-binding motifs encoded by eukaryotic genomes and one of the best understood DNA-recognition domains. Each zinc finger typically binds a 3-nt target sequence, and it is possible to engineer zinc-finger arrays (ZFAs) that recognize extended DNA sequences by linking together individual zinc fingers. Engineered zinc-finger proteins have proven to be valuable t...
متن کاملZinc Finger Database (ZiFDB) v2.0: a comprehensive database of C2H2 zinc fingers and engineered zinc finger arrays
ZiFDB (Zinc Finger Database, http://zifdb.msi.umn.edu) is a web-accessible database that houses information on individual C(2)H(2) zinc fingers (ZFs) and engineered zinc finger arrays (ZFAs). ZiFDB serves as a resource for biologists interested in engineering ZFAs for use as sequence-specific DNA-binding reagents. Here, we describe four new features of ZiFDB: (i) the database allows users to in...
متن کاملSysZNF: the C2H2 zinc finger gene database
C2H2 zinc finger (C2H2-ZNF) genes are one of the largest and most complex gene super-families in metazoan genomes, with hundreds of members in the human and mouse genome. The ongoing investigation of this huge gene family requires computational support to catalog genotype phenotype comparisons of C2H2-ZNF genes between related species and finally to extend the worldwide knowledge on the evoluti...
متن کاملA mitochondrial origin for eukaryotic C2H2 zinc finger regulators?
1 discussed the phylogenetic distribution of C2H2 zinc finger transcriptional regulators, which were thought to be exclusively eukaryotic but have been recently found in several prokaryotes. These proteins display different regulatory roles in Sphingomonas aromaticivorans and some members of the symbiotic bacterial genera Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Agrobacterium. Distantly related proteins ha...
متن کاملZinc Finger Targeter (ZiFiT): an engineered zinc finger/target site design tool
Zinc Finger Targeter (ZiFiT) is a simple and intuitive web-based tool that facilitates the design of zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) that can bind to specific DNA sequences. The current version of ZiFiT is based on a widely employed method of ZFP design, the 'modular assembly' approach, in which pre-existing individual zinc fingers are linked together to recognize desired target DNA sequences. Seve...
