Zinc finger 329 protein is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the zinc finger 329 gene.[1] The protein is a part of the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc finger protein family, and has 12 C2H2 zinc fingers, which characteristically start with a cysteine and end with a histidine.[2]

Gene

The human gene ZNF329 is located on chromosome 19, specifically, its locus location is 19q13.43. The length of the gene is 28,857 nucleotides, and it is on the minus strand. The gene neighborhood is comprised of zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 18 (ZSCAN18), which is downstream, and zinc finger 274 (ZNF274) lies upstream.[3]

Transcripts

There are 12 transcript variants for ZNF329, which differ in nucleotide length. The variants range in mRNA length from 3,438 to 3,871 nucleotides.[4] [5]

Protein

Illustration of the domains of human protein ZNF329. Domain one is color-coded green and has boundaries from amino acid 203-284, domain two is in orange and has boundaries from 314 to 248, domain three in blue has boundaries from 454 to 533.

The ZNF329 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 61.7 kD and an approximate basal isoelectric point of 8.9.[6] There are also two isoforms; X1 has a length of 564 amino acids, while isoform X2 has a length of 541 amino acids. Its amino acid sequence has a higher-than-average level of histidine compared to other human proteins, which is due to the histidine pattern in the zinc fingers. The amino acid sequence has a lower-than-average amount of alanine, valine, and tryptophan, which are all nonpolar hydrophobic amino acids.[7]

Subcellular localization

localization of ZNF337 is highest in the nucleus (nuclear) at 95.7% followed by 4.3% in the mitochondria (mitochondrial).[8]

Tertiary structure

The tertiary structure is composed primarily of alpha helices and has lacks both positive and negative charge clusters.[9]

Gene level regulation

The ZNF329 gene is expressed both ubiquitously and variably in human tissues. The highest expression was shown in the cerebellum, kidney, and thyroid.[10] Gene expression is near 50th percentile for most tissues, and therefore ZNF329 gene is considered lowly expressed.[11]

Protein level regulation

The post-translational modifications that have been experimentally determined are 6 phosphorylation sites, 3 ubiquitylation sites, and one acetylation site.[12]. Since ZNF329 is localized in the nucleoplasm, it does not undergo N-glycosylation.[13] High-scoring SUMOylation sites were also detected near the beginning of the sequence. [14] The nuclear localization signal used to sort ZNF329 in the nucleoplasm is located at the beginning of the sequence. [15]

Homology and evolution

Paralogs

According to GeneCards database, there are 481 paralogs that exist for ZNF329. The paralogs include zinc finger 180 (ZNF180), zinc finger 135 (ZNF135), zinc finger 420 (ZNF420), and zinc finger 606 (ZNF606).[16]

Orthologs

Phylogenetic tree of 20 placental mammals from 10 different orders.

ZNF329 only has orthologs in placental mammals. The ZNF329 protein first appeared when marsupials and placental mammals diverged, which is roughly between 147 and 164 million years ago.[17] High conservation is shown across the orthologs, especially from the middle to the end of the sequences, notably near where the zinc fingers begin.[18]

Interacting proteins

Some protein interactants identified through co-expression, protein homology, and text mining, include zinc finger protein 30 (ZFP30), zinc finger protein 225 (ZNF225), zinc finger protein 250 (ZNF250), zinc finger protein 432 (ZNF432), zinc finger protein 549 (ZNF549), and Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing 18 (ZSCAN 18).[19] The subcellular localizations for these interactants are typically in the nucleoplasm, much like ZNF329. [20] The function of all these interactants is said to be transcriptional regulation.[21]

Clinical significance

ZNF329 is reported to be involved in regulating gene expression in brain tumors.[22][23] ZNF329 is also associated with pathways of cancer progression. [24] ZNF329, as well as other zinc finger proteins, are also a part of the sepsis regulatory network. [25]
