POGZ Proteins and Enzymes

Pogz is a zinc-finger protein containing at least 8 C2H2 zinc fingers, a CENP-B (centromere protein-B) domain, and a DDE domain found in the bacterial transposase/retroviral integrase family. Members of this family of integrases share structural homologies and show similar catalytic activity to the RAG1 and RAG2 proteins that initiate V(D)J recombination in lymphoid progenitors. Mouse Pogz has a human homolog with a base pair similarity of 90% and amino acid similarity of 93% for the full ...
