WZF-1 is a zinc-finger protein which binds to the wheat histone gene promoter. Southwestern-binding analyses revealed that it bound a CACTC sequence, a novel positive cis-acting element. The activity of WZF-1 gene promoter, containing six CACTC sequences, was markedly reduced when WZF-1 was co-expressed, suggesting that WZF-1 is a transcriptional repressor.
WZF-1是一种与小麦组蛋白基因启动子结合的锌指蛋白。Southwestern杂交分析表明,它与一个CACTC序列结合,这是一个新的正向顺式作用元件。当WZF-1共表达时,含有六个CACTC序列的WZF-1基因启动子的活性显著降低,这表明WZF-1是一种转录抑制因子。
