Ubiquitin interactions of NZF zinc fingers.
Ubiquitin (Ub) functions in many different biological pathways, where it typically interacts with proteins that contain modular Ub recognition domains. One such recognition domain is the Npl4 zinc finger (NZF), a compact zinc-binding module found in many proteins that function in Ub-dependent processes. We now report the solution structure of the NZF domain from Npl4 in complex with Ub. The str...
متن کاملZinc fingers poke zebrafish, cause thrombosis!
In this issue of Blood, Liu et al describe the creation of a null mutation for the antithrombin III gene (at3) in zebrafish by using zinc finger nuclease technology.
متن کاملZinc fingers in the pizza pie aorta.
The multifactorial etiology of atherosclerosis includes inflammatory and immune processes that involve numerous cell types, including monocytic and lymphocytic leukocytes, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts. It is likely that each of these cell types, as a contributor to the atherosclerotic process, possesses a gene expression profile unique to its role in disease pathogene...
متن کاملZinc fingers, zinc clusters, and zinc twists in DNA-binding protein domains.
We now recognize three distinct motifs of DNA-binding zinc proteins: (i) zinc fingers, (ii) zinc clusters, and (iii) zinc twists. Until very recently, x-ray crystallographic or NMR three-dimensional structure analyses of DNA-binding zinc proteins have not been available to serve as standards of reference for the zinc binding sites of these families of proteins. Those of the DNA-binding domains ...
متن کاملZinc 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...
