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. As a member of the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family, ZNF654 (Zinc finger protein 654), also known as Melanoma-associated antigen, is a 581 amino acid nuclear protein that contains five C2H2-type zinc fingers. The gene encoding ZNF654 maps to human chromosome 3, which is made up of about 214 million bases encoding over 1,100 genes, including a chemokine receptor (CKR) gene cluster and a variety of human cancer-related gene loci. Both ZNF654 and Vgl-3 are underexpressed in malignant ovarian tumor samples, suggesting that these proteins may play a role in ovarian tumorigenesis.
