Miz-1 is a BTB/POZ transcription factor that contains 13C2H2 Zinc Finger domains (ZF). Miz-1 transactivates and represses the transcription of a myriad of genes involved in many aspects of the biology of the cell. The detailed molecular interactions through which Miz-1 controls transcription, including its specific DNA binding via its ZF domains, remain to be understood and documented. In our effort to shed light into the structural biology of Miz-1, we have undertaken the determination of the structure of all its ZF and the characterization of their interactions with cognate DNA. The structure of ZF 1 to 10 have already been solved and characterized. Here, we present the structure of the synthetic Miz-1 ZF13 determined by 2D (1)H-(1)H NMR.
Miz-1是一种BTB/POZ转录因子,含有13个C2H2锌指结构域(ZF)。Miz-1可激活和抑制众多参与细胞生物学多个方面的基因的转录。Miz-1控制转录的详细分子相互作用,包括其通过ZF结构域与特定DNA的结合,仍有待了解和记录。为了深入了解Miz-1的结构生物学,我们已着手确定其所有ZF的结构,并表征它们与同源DNA的相互作用。ZF 1至10的结构已得到解析和表征。在此,我们展示通过二维(1)H-(1)H NMR测定的合成Miz-1 ZF13的结构。
