ZNF 333 is a new and sole gene containing two KRAB domains which has been identified currently. It is a member of subfamilies of zinc finger gene complex which had been localized on chromosome 19p13.1. The ZNF333 gene mainly encodes a 75.5 kDa protein which contains 10 zinc finger domains. Using the methods of random oligonucleotide selection assay, electromobility gel shift assay and luciferase activity assay, we found that ZNF333 recognized the specific DNA core binding sequence ATAAT. Moreover, these data indicated that the KRAB domain of ZNF333 really has the ability of transcriptional repression.
