Cys2His2 (C2H2) type zinc finger (ZnF) proteins constitute a large class of proteins that are generally considered to be DNA-binding transcription factors. Using affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry, as well as reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation experiments, we determined that the C2H2-ZnF protein Znf684 interacts physically with several proteins involved in mRNA export, including Nxf1 and Alyref. We utilized individual nucleotide resolution cross-linking immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing (iCLIP-seq) experiments to show that Znf684 binds directly to specific mRNAs in vivo and has an RNA-binding profile similar to those of Nxf1 and Alyref, suggesting a role in mRNA export regulation. Immunofluorescence microscopy (IF) experiments revealed that Znf684 localizes to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Using cellular fractionation experiments, we demonstrate that overexpression of Znf684 negatively impacts the export of SMAD3 and other target mRNAs. Taken together, our results suggest that Znf684 regulates the export of a subset of transcripts through physical interactions with Nxf1 and specific target mRNAs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
