Abstract
We defined a sub-family of zinc finger proteins by computer analyses and comparisons of five new finger domains against protein databases. This subclass of the cysteine-cysteine/histidine-histidine motif shows additional well conserved amino acid patterns and belongs to the human kox and gli-Kruppel gene family, sharing also the same stretches of regulatory zinc finger-containing proteins of mouse and Xenopus. We particularly describe ZF6 cDNA which contains the most interesting sequence, encoding a putative multi-domain regulatory protein.
