Abstract excerpt
Previously, we found that two isoforms of the ZNF268 gene (ZNF268a and ZNF268b2, with and without the KRAB domain, respectively) might play distinct roles in normal epithelia and in cervical cancer. Here we further investigated that KRAB domain defined the function disparity in part by reinforcing nuclear localization of ZNF268a. We found that the A-box of KRAB alone retained major specific nuclear localization...
