Dopamine receptor regulating factor, DRRF: a zinc finger transcription factor.
Dopamine receptor genes are under complex transcription control, determining their unique regional distribution in the brain. We describe here a zinc finger type transcription factor, designated dopamine receptor regulating factor (DRRF), which binds to GC and GT boxes in the D1A and D2 dopamine receptor promoters and effectively displaces Sp1 and Sp3 from these sequences. Consequently, DRRF ca...
متن کاملZiFiT (Zinc Finger Targeter): an updated zinc finger engineering tool
ZiFiT (Zinc Finger Targeter) is a simple and intuitive web-based tool that provides an interface to identify potential binding sites for engineered zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) in user-supplied DNA sequences. In this updated version, ZiFiT identifies potential sites for ZFPs made by both the modular assembly and OPEN engineering methods. In addition, ZiFiT now integrates additional tools and res...
متن کاملDeep Vertebrate Roots for Mammalian Zinc Finger Transcription Factor Subfamilies
While many vertebrate transcription factor (TF) families are conserved, the C2H2 zinc finger (ZNF) family stands out as a notable exception. In particular, novel ZNF gene types have arisen, duplicated, and diverged independently throughout evolution to yield many lineage-specific TF genes. This evolutionary dynamic not only raises many intriguing questions but also severely complicates identifi...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the zinc finger transcription factor, Osterix.
Osterix was identified as a transcription factor expressing, in osteoblasts, required for bone formation. However, the molecular mechanisms of the gene regulation by Osterix remain elusive. In this study, we examined the transactivation property of Osterix by using the Gal4 fusion system reporter assay. We identified the transactivation domain of Osterix, which contains high proline and glycine...
متن کاملGenome engineering with zinc-finger nucleases.
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are targetable DNA cleavage reagents that have been adopted as gene-targeting tools. ZFN-induced double-strand breaks are subject to cellular DNA repair processes that lead to both targeted mutagenesis and targeted gene replacement at remarkably high frequencies. This article briefly reviews the history of ZFN development and summarizes applications that have been m...
