Abstract

The human ZNF300 gene is a member of the KRAB/C(2)H(2) zinc finger gene family, the members of which are known to be involved in various developmental and pathological processes. Here, we show that the ZNF300 gene encodes a 68-kDa nuclear protein that binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner. The ZNF300 DNA binding site, C(t/a)GGGGG(c/g)G, was defined via a random oligonucleotide selection assay, and the DNA binding site was further confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. A potential ZNF300 binding site was found in the promoter region of the human IL-2Rbeta gene. The results of electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that ZNF300 bound to the ZNF300 binding site in the IL-2Rbeta promoter in vitro. Transient co-transfection assays showed that ZNF300 could activate the IL-2Rbeta promoter, and that the activation was abrogated by the mutation of residues in the ZNF300 binding site. Identifying the DNA binding site and characterizing the transcriptional regulation property of ZNF300 would provide critical insights into its potential as a transcriptional regulator.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2018.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
#71
of 606 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,803
of 96,466 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 606 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 96,466 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
