Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Toronto Hospital, Ontario, Canada.

As part of an endeavour to identify and characterize zinc finger genes of the cardiovascular system, a novel zinc finger gene, HHZ105, was isolated from a human fetal heart cDNA library. This gene was mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization to human chromosome 7q22, a region associated with a number of genetic disorders and developmental deficiencies.

D016335	Zinc Fingers	Motifs in DNA- and RNA-binding proteins whose amino acids are folded into a single structural unit around a zinc atom. In the classic zinc finger, one zinc atom is bound to two cysteines and two histidines. In between the cysteines and histidines are 12 residues which form a DNA binding fingertip. By variations in the composition of the sequences in the fingertip and the number and spacing of tandem repeats of the motif, zinc fingers can form a large number of different sequence specific binding sites.

D017404	In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence	A type of IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION in which target sequences are stained with fluorescent dye so their location and size can be determined using fluorescence microscopy. This staining is sufficiently distinct that the hybridization signal can be seen both in metaphase spreads and in interphase nuclei.
