Ongoing evolution of KRAB zinc finger protein-coding genes in modern humans

2020-09-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest and fastest evolving family of gene regulators encoded by the human genome. Recent data indicate that many KZFPs serve as repressors of transposable element-embedded regulatory sequences (TEeRS) and that the evolutionary turnover of KZFP genes is mainly attributable to the changing transposable element (TE) load...
