Isolation and mapping of a human zinc finger gene (ZNF188) homologous to ZNF187, a serum-response-element binding protein.

From a human pancreas cDNA library we isolated and characterized a novel zinc finger gene encoding a protein homologous to ZNF187, a serum response element-binding protein. The full-length cDNA contained an open reading frame of 1,686 nucleotides encoding a predicted 562-amino-acid peptide that included an ATP-GTP binding site and seven C2H2 zinc finger domains. The consensus sequence of the C2H2 domains (CX2CX3FX5LX2HX3H) is common in the SRE-binding region present in Drosophila Krüppel proteins. An alternatively spliced form of the transcript found in the cDNA library lacked both the ATP-GTP binding site and any C2H2 zinc finger domains. We localized this gene (ZNF188) to chromosome band 7q22.1-->q22.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.[1]
