Ikaros family members, including Ikaros and Helios, are nuclear factors that colocalize with DNA replication machinery components in higher-order chromatin structures and respond to signaling events, such as T-cell activation. Helios and Ikaros bind to similar DNA sequences and they function as hemopoietic-specific transcription factors. Members of the Ikaros family contain zinc-finger domains that are involved in DNA-binding and in the formation of homodimers and heterodimers between Ikaros family members. Pegasus, also known as zinc finger protein Ikaros 5, is a 419 amino acid transcriptional repressor. Localized to the nucleus, Pegasus binds to the 5'GNNTGTNG-3' DNA core sequence. Pegasus contains 5 C2H2-type zinc finger domains. The C-terminal zinc finger domains participate in homodimerization and the N-terminal domains participate in heterodimerization with Ikaros family members and DNA binding. Pegasus is expressed in many tissues including kidney, heart, skeletal muscle, brain and liver.
