Zinc finger protein (ZFP) is a common DNA binding domain found in many transcription factors. It consists of ∼30 amino acids that may recognize three base pairs of DNA. Combining 3–6 ZFP in a molecule, it can recognize and bind to a specific DNA into the genome. The ZFN approach mix the features of ZFP specificity and add to this molecule …
A zinc finger motif was engineered into an Antennapedia homeodomain mutant (des(1–6)Antp(C39S)) – here termed Ant – in which the first six residues of the WT protein were deleted and the cysteine in position 39 was mutated to serine. Ant is a nonmetalloprotein that binds DNA but does not undergo any significant structural change …
Many zinc finger domains that target different sequences have been engineered by rational design or high-throughput selection. Because of the modular nature of the zinc finger arrays, it is possible to exchange zinc finger domains to reprogram the binding specificity of the protein to new sequences. The new targeted DNA-binding proteins can be ...
