Abstract: Zinc-finger is a protein that binds DNA / RNA and regulates gene expression. In previous work,we identified a Zinc-finger protein( termed as Hb Zinc-finger) that interacted with Hb JAZ1 in Y2 H against rubber latex c DNA yeast library. The full-length c DNA of Hb Zinc-finger gene is 2 262 bp in length and encodes 753 aa.C-terminal of Hb Zinc-finger contains a PB1 domain. A ZnF_ZZ domain exists between 336 aa and 381 aa. Subcellular fluorescent localization result showed that the Hb Zinc-finger was located in nucleus. Additionally,Hb Zinc-finger showed strong self transcriptional activation in yeast. Furthermore,the expression of Hb Zinc-finger was affected by continuously wounding in rubber latex,suggesting that Hb Zinc-finger is possibly regulated by the JA signaling pathway.
