摘要: POZ 锌指蛋白是一类在进化中高度保守的蛋白,具有多种重要的生物学功能。POZ 锌指蛋白主要作为一种转录抑制因子而存在,通过POZ 结构域招募一些转录辅阻遏物而调节靶基因的表达。近年来的研究发现,POZ 锌指蛋白在发育和肿瘤的发生中有着重要的作用,综述5 个POZ 锌指蛋白在肿瘤的发生和生物体发育中的作用及功能,为人们进一步了解POZ 锌指蛋白的功能提供资料。

Abstract: POZ-ZF proteins are highly conserved proteins implicated many biological processes in invertebrate and vertebrate. Members of the POZ-ZF protein contain an amino-terminal POZ domain and a carboxy-terminal DNA-binding domain made of one or more zinc finger motifs and usually act as transcriptional co-repressors to regulate target genes expression. Recent studies showed that POZ-ZF proteins play important roles in development and oncogenesis. In this review, we summarize studies of five POZ-ZF proteins, which is helpful to further understand POZ-ZF proteins.
