.... GST pull-down experiments and molecular docking studies revealed that the N-terminal zinc finger domain of PRMT3 binds to the C-terminal zinc finger regions of ZNF200. Furthermore, the evolutionary conservation of the Znf domain of PRMT3 correlates with the emergence of ZNF200 in mammals. We found...

... of telomere maintenance recruit NuRD to their telomeres. This interaction is mediated by the N-terminal domain of the zinc-finger protein ZNF827. NuRD–ZNF827 plays a vital role in the ALT pathway by creating a molecular platform for recombination-mediated repair. Disruption of NuRD binding results in loss...

...Eneda Toska; Stefan G. E. Roberts The WT1 (Wilms’ tumour 1) gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor and RNA-binding protein that direct the development of several organs and tissues. WT1 manifests both tumour suppressor and oncogenic activities, but the reasons behind these opposing...

... DHHC domain suggests that it could fold as a zinc-finger domain, co-ordinating two zinc atoms in a CCHC arrangement. All residues predicted to be involved in the co-ordination of zinc were found to be essential for Swf1 function in the screen. Moreover, these mutations result in unstable proteins...

... target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling phosphorylation ribosomal protein subunit 6 kinase 1 (S6K1) zinc finger S6K1 (p70 ribosomal protein subunit 6 kinase 1), belonging to the AGC [PKA (protein kinase A)/PKG (protein kinase G)/PKC (protein kinase C)] family of kinases is an important...

... is contained within its RING domain (amino acids 438–490) which is one of two putative zinc-binding domains encoded within the N-terminal half of the protein [ 17 , 18 ]. Immediately N-terminal to the MEKK1 RING domain is a second predicted zinc finger-like sequence (amino acids 298–388) that contains a CXCX 5...

... the 1.9 Å (1 Å=0.1 nm) X-ray structure of the Cwc2 core domain, which is both necessary and sufficient for RNA binding. The Cwc2 core domain contains two sub-domains, a CCCH-type ZnF (zinc finger) and a RRM (RNA recognition motif). Unexpectedly, the ZnF domain and the RRM form a single folding unit, glued...

...-L1Tc recombinant protein has at least a 16-fold higher affinity for single-stranded than for double-stranded nucleic acids, and that it exhibits a clear preference for RNA binding over DNA. The C2-L1Tc binding profile (to RNA and DNA) corresponds to a non-co-operative-binding model. The zinc fingers...

... recognized through the identification of three closely related proteins: RNF114, RNF138 and RNF166. TRAC-1 and its relatives were found to contain, apart from the RING domain, a C2HC (Cys 2 -His-Cys)- and two C2H2 (Cys 2 -His 2 )-type zinc fingers, as well as a UIM (ubiquitin-interacting motif). The UIM...

...Shih-Ming Huang; Sheng-Ping Huang; Sung-Ling Wang; Pei-Yao Liu Zac1, a novel seven-zinc-finger transcription factor, preferentially binds GC-rich DNA elements and has intrinsic transactivation activity. To date, the NLS (nuclear localization signal) of Zac1 has not been empirically determined. We...

...Rafal SWIERCZ; Maria D. PERSON; Mark T. BEDFORD PRMT3 (protein arginine methyltransferase 3) is one of four type I arginine methyltransferases that catalyse the formation of asymmetric dimethylarginine. PRMT3 is unique in that its N-terminus harbours a C 2 H 2 zinc-finger domain that is proposed...

...Robert BABB; Benjamin R. BOWEN Peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, play an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy homoeostasis. In a yeast two-hybrid experiment using the zinc-finger transcription factor...

...]. Subsequently, the centaurin family has been extended following the purification and cloning of highly related proteins from pig and rat brain (termed p42IP%) [4,5] and bovine brain (termed PtdIns(3,4,5)P $ -binding protein) [6]. Structurally, centaurins contain an N-terminal zinc finger motif that shows...
