Identification and gene structure of a novel human PLZF-related transcription factor gene, TZFP.

Abstract:

:A novel cDNA clone was identified through yeast two-hybrid experiments. Following cross-examination between the cDNA clones, EST clones, and the cosmid clone, we could digitally assemble a new zinc finger transcription factor gene. This predicted gene has a cDNA size of about 1960 bp and is translated into a 487-amino-acid protein. According to database analysis, this gene contains three C2H2 zinc finger motifs and is highly related to human PLZF (promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein). The full-length coding region of the gene was isolated, and its sequences were confirmed by DNA sequencing. Interestingly, one splicing variant lacking exon III was also identified. Northern blot analysis revealed that this gene is mainly expressed in human testis. In conclusion, we have identified a new member of the PLZF zinc finger protein family, the testis zinc finger protein (TZFP), which is mainly expressed in testis tissue.
