Abstract

By using the zinc-finger region of human cHF.10 cDNA as a probe at low-stringency hybridization conditions, several individual phages from a mouse skeletal muscle cDNA library have been isolated. The amino acid sequences of the "zinc-finger" domains derived from the DNA sequences of three cDNA clones are shown. The expression of the corresponding mRNAs in three cell lines (NIH 3T3, F9 teratocarcinoma, and C2 myoblast cells) at different stages of differentiation and in eight adult mouse tissues has been analyzed. The transcription of these genes is induced during the in vitro differentiation of the cell lines tested. These three genes are widely and evenly expressed in adult mouse tissues, with the remarkable exception of one that is expressed predominantly in the testis.
