Zinc and cellular oxidants such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) each participate in a
multitude of physiological functions. There is considerable overlap between the affected …

Zinc (II) ions are redox-inert in biology. Yet, their interaction with sulfur of cysteine in cellular
proteins can confer ligand-centered redox activity on zinc coordination sites, control protein …

Zinc ions are key structural components of a large number of proteins. The binding of zinc
stabilizes the folded conformations of domains so that they may facilitate interactions …

A 30-amino-acid segment of C/EBP, a newly discovered enhancer binding protein, shares
notable sequence similarity with a segment of the cellular Myc transforming protein. Display …

An account is given of the discovery of the classical Cys2His2 zinc finger, arising from the
interpretation of biochemical studies on the interaction of the Xenopus protein transcription …

▪ Abstract Cys2His2 zinc fingers are one of the most common DNA-binding motifs found in
eukaryotic transcription factors. These proteins typically contain several fingers that make …

Zinc is a key element for growth and development. In this narrative review, we focus on the
role of dietary zinc in early life (including embryo, fetus and preterm neonate), analyzing …

Our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of intracellular homeostatic control of zinc ions
is now firmly grounded on experimental findings gleaned from the study of zinc proteomes …

The essential micronutrient zinc occurs in plants either as a free ion, or as a complex with a
variety of low molecular weight compounds. Zinc may also be incorporated as a component …

Transcription factor Spl is a protein present in mammalian cells that binds to GC box
promoter elements and selectively activates mRNA synthesis from genes that contain …
