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. ZNF282 (zinc finger protein 282), also designated HUB1, is a 671 amino acid nuclear protein that contains one KRAB domain and five C2H2-type zinc fingers. Expressed ubiquitously, ZNF282 binds to the 5'-TCCACCCC-3' sequence within the U5 repressive element (U5RE) of the human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) long terminal repeat. Through its interaction with the U5RE, ZNF282 effectively represses HTLV-1-mediated expression, thereby suppressing viral replication.
