Design and Selection of Novel Cys2His2 Zinc Finger Proteins
Abstract
▪ Abstract Cys 2 His 2 zinc finger proteins offer a stable and versatile framework for the design of proteins that recognize desired target sites on double-stranded DNA. Individual fingers from these proteins have a simple ββα structure that folds around a central zinc ion, and tandem sets of fingers can contact neighboring subsites of 3–4 base pairs along the major groove of the DNA. Although there is no simple, general code for zinc finger–DNA recognition, selection strategies have been developed that allow these proteins to be targeted to almost any desired site on double-stranded DNA. The affinity and specificity of these new proteins can also be improved by linking more fingers together or by designing proteins that bind as dimers and thus recognize an extended site. These new proteins can then be modified by adding other domains—for activation or repression of transcription, for DNA cleavage, or for other activities. Such designer transcription factors and other new proteins will have important applications in biomedical research and in gene therapy.

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.
