The C2H2-ZF transcription factor Zfp335 recognizes two consensus motifs using separate zinc finger arrays.

Abstract excerpt

The complexities of DNA recognition by transcription factors (TFs) with multiple Cys2-His2 zinc fingers (C2H2-ZFs) remain poorly studied. We previously reported a mutation (R1092W) in the C2H2-ZF TF Zfp335 that led to selective loss of binding at a subset of targets, although the basis for this effect was unclear. We show that Zfp335 binds DNA and drives transcription via recognition of two distinct consensus...
