Zinc Finger Proteins as Potential Targets for Toxic Metal Ions: Differential Effects on Structure and Function

Abstract

Zinc finger structures are frequently found in transcription factors and DNA repair proteins, mediating DNA-protein and protein-protein binding. As low concentrations of transition metal compounds, including those of cadmium, nickel, and cobalt, have been shown to interfere with DNA transcription and repair, several studies have been conducted to elucidate potential interactions of toxic metal ions with zinc-binding protein domains. Various effects have been identified, including the displacement of zinc, e.g., by cadmium or cobalt, the formation of mixed complexes, incomplete coordination of toxic metal ions, as well as the oxidation of cysteine residues within the metal-binding domain. Besides the number of cysteine and/or histidine ligands, unique structural features of the respective protein under investigation determine whether or not zinc finger structures are disrupted by one or more transition metals. As improper folding of zinc finger domains is mostly associated with the loss of correct protein function, disruption of zinc finger structures may result in interference with manifold cellular processes involved in gene expression, growth regulation, and maintenance of the genomic integrity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
