Abstract excerpt
WT1 encodes a zinc finger protein with a key role in urogenital development that is inactivated in a subset of Wilms' tumors. This tumor suppressor gene product contains an amino-terminal dimerization domain required for trans-inhibition of wild-type WT1 activity by mutants defective for DNA binding. In the course of characterizing truncation mutants of WT1, we noted that the WT1 zinc fingers contain two...
