ZF5 encodes a zinc finger protein, which contains five C2H2-type zinc fingers showing homology with the zinc finger of the Kruppel family, and binds to two sites in the mouse c-myc promoter. We report the effect of over-expression of ZF5 on cell growth. ZnCl2 treatment suppressed the growth of a mouse fibroblast cell line (L cells) transfected with the wild-type ZF5 gene driven by the metallothionein promoter. Cells transfected with the wild-type ZF5 gene formed colonies two- to fivefold less efficiently than those transfected with the mutant ZF5 gene in P19, NIH3T3, 3T3-L1 and L cells. Over-expression of ZF5 did not cause c-myc down-regulation or arrest of the cell cycle, but increased the DNA content.
ZF5编码一种锌指蛋白,它含有五个C2H2型锌指,与Kruppel家族的锌指具有同源性,并与小鼠c-myc启动子中的两个位点结合。我们报告了ZF5过表达对细胞生长的影响。氯化锌处理抑制了用金属硫蛋白启动子驱动的野生型ZF5基因转染的小鼠成纤维细胞系(L细胞)的生长。在P19、NIH3T3、3T3-L1和L细胞中,转染野生型ZF5基因的细胞形成集落的效率比转染突变型ZF5基因的细胞低两到五倍。ZF5的过表达并未导致c-myc下调或细胞周期停滞,但增加了DNA含量。
