Disease relevance of ZMYM4

 

High impact information on ZMYM4

  • Among the elements that inhibited interferon-gamma-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells was a 441-nucleotide fragment derived from the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of KIAA0425, a gene of unknown function [2].
  • The predicted protein products of ZNF258 and ZNF262 maintain the repeats of the MYM motif [3].
  • It is widely expressed in different tissues in eukaryotes under several forms derived by alternative splicing, including a large 382 amino acid form containing a single MYM domain, and 2 shorter forms of 208 and 213 amino acids respectively that do not [4].
  • Assignment of ZNF262 to human chromosome band 1p34-->p32 by in situ hybridization [5].
  • We have previously demonstrated that overexpression of Cell Death Inhibiting RNA (CDIR), a portion of the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of KIAA0425, inhibits Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) induced apoptosis in HeLa cells (Shchors et al., J Biol Chem 2002; 277:47061-72) [6].
