Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** ZNF91 is a member of the zinc finger protein family, characterized by its ability to bind to specific DNA sequences. It possesses a unique combination of transcriptional activation and repression activities, allowing it to modulate gene expression in response to various cellular signals. ZNF91 is specifically expressed in various cell types, including cardiac myocytes, neurons, and fibroblasts, suggesting its involvement in tissue-specific gene regulation. **Pathways and Functions:** ZNF91 is involved in multiple transcriptional pathways, including: 1. **DNA-binding transcription activator activity**: ZNF91 can activate transcription by binding to specific DNA sequences, thereby recruiting co-activators and RNA polymerase II. 2. **DNA-binding transcription repressor activity**: In contrast, ZNF91 can also repress transcription by binding to inhibitory DNA sequences, thereby blocking RNA polymerase II recruitment. 3. **Retrotransposon silencing**: ZNF91 has been shown to play a role in silencing retrotransposons, a type of mobile genetic element that can disrupt genome stability. 4. **Regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II**: ZNF91 can interact with RNA polymerase II, a key enzyme in transcription, to regulate gene expression. **Clinical Significance:** The dysregulation of ZNF91 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cardiac arrhythmias**: Abnormal expression of ZNF91 in cardiac myocytes has been linked to arrhythmias and cardiac dysfunction. 2. **Neurological disorders**: ZNF91 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of gene expression in neurons, and its dysregulation has been implicated in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. 3. **Cancer**: ZNF91 has been identified as a potential tumor suppressor gene, and its dysregulation has been linked to cancer progression. In conclusion, ZNF91 is a multifunctional transcription factor that plays a critical role in regulating gene expression in various cell types. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of understanding its mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the role of ZNF91 in human disease and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target.
