Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. The majority of zinc-finger proteins contain a Krüppel-type DNA binding domain and a KRAB domain, which is thought to interact with KAP1, thereby recruiting histone modifying proteins. ZNF527 (Zinc finger protein 527) is a 577 amino acid member of the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family and is thought to act as a transcriptional repressor. Localized to the nucleus, ZNF527 contains one KRAB domain and twelve C2H2-type zinc fingers through which it may convey DNA, RNA and protein binding capabilities. The gene encoding ZNF527 maps to human chromosome 19, which consists of over 63 million bases, houses approximately 1,400 genes and is recognized for having the greatest gene density of the human chromosomes. Chromosome 19 is the genetic home for a number of immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members, including the killer cell and leukocyte Ig-like receptors, a number of ICAMs, the CEACAM and PSG family and Fc receptors (FcRs).
