High impact information on ZNF131

  • Therefore, it is possible that Znf131/ZNF131 plays a role during development and organogenesis as well as in the function of the adult central nervous system [1].
  • In human adult tissues a predominant expression of ZNF131 was seen in different brain areas, i.e., the occipital and temporal lobe, the nucleus caudatus, hippocampus, and the cerebellum as well as in testis and thymus [1].
  • Like many members of this protein family, Znf131 displays robust nuclear localization in cultured cells, but the mechanism(s) of Znf131 nuclear trafficking is unknown [2].
  • Finally, wild type Znf131, and not a Znf131 NLS-defective mutant (NLS-1m/NLS-2m) interacted preferentially with the nuclear import receptor Importin-alpha3 in vitro [2].
  • However, a Znf131 truncation mutant containing BR-2 and BR-3 efficiently targeted heterologous beta-gal-GFP fusion proteins to HeLa cell nuclei [2].
 

Biological context of ZNF131

  • Visual inspection of the Znf131 amino acid sequence revealed three basic regions (BR-1, -2 and -3) with the potential to serve as nuclear localization signals (NLS) [2].
