[HTML][HTML] Cloning and characterization of a novel zinc finger transcriptional repressor: a direct role of the zinc finger motif in repression

GP He, S Kim, HS Ro - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 - ASBMB
We have identified a novel transcriptional repressor, AEBP2, that binds to a regulatory
sequence (termed AE-1) located in the proximal promoter region of the aP2 gene that
encodes the adipose fatty acid-binding protein. Sequence analysis of AEBP2 cDNA
revealed that it encodes a protein containing three Gli-Krüppel (Cys 2-His 2)-type zinc
fingers. Northern blot analysis revealed two transcripts (4.5 and 3.5 kilobases) which were
ubiquitously expressed in every mouse tissue examined. In co-transfection assays, AEBP2 …
