The C2H2 zinc finger is the classical zinc finger domain. The two conserved cysteines and histidines co-ordinate a zinc ion. The following pattern describes the zinc finger. #-X-C-X(1-5)-C-X3-#-X5-#-X2-H-X(3-6)-[H/C] Where X can be any amino acid, an ...
The C2H2 zinc finger is the classical zinc finger domain. The two conserved cysteines and histidines co-ordinate a zinc ion. The following pattern describes the zinc finger. #-X-C-X(1-5)-C-X3-#-X5-#-X2-H-X(3-6)-[H/C] Where X can be any amino acid, and numbers in brackets indicate the number of residues. The positions marked # are those that are important for the stable fold of the zinc finger. The final position can be either his or cys. The C2H2 zinc finger is composed of two short beta strands followed by an alpha helix. The amino terminal part of the helix binds the major groove in DNA binding zinc fingers. The accepted consensus binding sequence for Sp1 is usually defined by the asymmetric hexanucleotide core GGGCGG but this sequence does not include, among others, the GAG (=CTC) repeat that constitutes a high-affinity site for Sp1 binding to the wt1 promoter [2].
This family includes both Yippee-type proteins and Mis18 kinetochore proteins. Yippee are putative zinc-binding/DNA-binding proteins. Mis18 are proteins involved in the priming of centromeres for recruiting CENP-A. Mis18-alpha and beta form part of ...
This family includes both Yippee-type proteins and Mis18 kinetochore proteins. Yippee are putative zinc-binding/DNA-binding proteins. Mis18 are proteins involved in the priming of centromeres for recruiting CENP-A. Mis18-alpha and beta form part of a small complex with Mis18-binding protein. Mis18-alpha is found to interact with DNA de-methylases through a Leu-rich region located at its carboxyl terminus [5]. This entry also includes the CULT domain proteins such as Cereblon [6].
