Gene edit

The zinc finger protein 684 is also known as the Kruppel-associated box protein.[4] Within humans, the ZNF684 gene is found on the plus strand at 1q34.2, spanning 16,594 nucleotides from 40,548,167 to 40,531,573.[5][6]

Transcript edit

Currently, there is one transcript variant encoding ZNF684.[3] The transcript variant has five identified exon regions within ZNF684 and spans 2,019 base pairs (bp).[5]

Protein edit

 
Figure 2. Human ZNF684 3' UTR Secondary Structure

The ZNF684 protein in humans is 378 amino acids long.[4] Human ZNF684 has a molecular weight of 32,945 Da and basal isoelectric point of 9.06.[7] The ZNF684 protein contains the Kruppel-associated box A (KRAB-A) domain, which functions as a transcriptional repressor.[4][8] Within the ZNF684 protein, there are 8 C2H2 zinc finger structural motif (zf-C2H2) domain, which are known to bind either zinc ions or nucleic acid.[4][9][10] Within those domains, cystine and histidine are the primary amino acids involved in zinc ion (Zn2+) or nucleic acid binding.[9] The human ZNF684 protein is rich in lysine and histidine, and poor in alanine.[11] Predicted secondary structures of ZNF684 demonstrate a variable number of alpha helices, beta sheets, helical turns, and coils throughout the protein.[12]

Regulation edit

Gene edit

Tissue Distribution edit

In terms of gene expression, ZNF684 has ubiquitous expression in all human tissues.[3] Microarray data illustrates higher expression of ZNF684 within the liver.[3][13] This is further supported by data which depicts a decrease in ZNF684 expression in liver cells within individuals with liver cancer.[14] There was also higher expressions of ZNF684 within the kidney compared to other tissues.[3][13] Evidence of decreased ZNF684 expression is observed with individuals with renal cancer.[15]

Within fetuses, the ubiquitous expression of ZNF684 gene is present in all tissues throughout the gestational period of 10 to 20 weeks.[3] There is a higher level of expression of ZNF684 in the heart at 20 weeks of gestation, and a decreased level of expression in kidneys at 20 week of gestation.[3]

Transcript edit

Using RNAfold, minimum free energy structures were created based on the extended 5' and 3' untranslated region (UTR) in the human sequence (Figure 1-2).

Protein edit

It is predicted that ZNF684 localizes within the nucleus, which aligns with the protein's known functions as a transcription factor.[16] It has also been predicted to localize within the cytoplasm.[16]

Homology/ evolution edit

Homologs of the ZNF684 gene have been found across eukaryotes and bacteria species.[17] Strict orthologs were only found within placental mammals. The gene is also closely related to the paralog ZFP25 in humans.[18] Across the various species in which ZNF684 strict ortholog is present, conservation of C2H2 binding sites and the Kruppel-associated box is apparent (Figure 3-4).[19] The list of the various mammalian placental species are summarized in Table 1 by their median date of divergence from Homo sapiens.

Interacting Proteins edit

Multiple interactions were detected between ZNF684 and other proteins.[20] TRIM28 is a transcription factor co-repressor that interacts with the KRAB domain.[21] TRIM28 recruits components for histone methylation and histone deacetylation, leading to changes in chromatin structure that repress gene expression.[22]

Functions edit

ZNF684 physically interacts with mRNA export factors and directly binds to RNA.[23]
