A Novel Imprinted Gene, Encoding a RING Zinc-Finger Protein, and Overlapping Antisense Transcript in the Prader-Willi Syndrome Critical Region
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
We describe a complex imprinted locus in chromosome 15q11-q13 that encodes two genes, ZNF127 and ZNF127AS. The ZNF127 gene encodes a protein with a RING (C3HC4) zinc-finger and multiple C3H zinc-finger motifs, the former being closely related to a protein from variola major virus, the smallpox etiological agent. These motifs allow prediction of ZNF127 function as a ribonucleoprotein. The intronless ZNF127 gene is...
