Preferred Label : CYS2-HIS2 Zinc Fingers;
MeSH definition : A zinc finger motif of approximately 30 amino acids with the general sequence X2-Cys-X2,4-Cys-X12-His-X3,4,5-His
that forms a simple beta sheet-beta sheet-alpha helix fold stabilized by zinc ions.
It recognizes and binds to a variety of eukaryotic DNA sequences and is very common
among sequence-specific DNA BINDING PROTEINS and TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS.;
