RING-CH finger, H2 subclass (C4HC3-type), found in nuclear transcription factor, X-box binding-like 1 (NFXL1) and similar proteins
NFXL1, also known as NF-X1-type zinc finger protein NFXL1, or ovarian zinc finger protein (OZFP), is encoded by the novel human cytoplasm-distribution zinc finger protein (CDZFP) gene. It is a putative zinc finger protein with a C4HC3-type RING-CH finger and a Cys-rich region that harbors several NFX1-type zinc fingers.
Comment:A RING finger typically binds two zinc atoms, with its Cys and/or His side chains in a unique "cross-brace" arrangement.
Comment:The RING fingers found in NFXL1 and its homologs have an unusual arrangement of zinc-coordinating residues: The conserved helix complete with tryptophan at the C-terminal end is present but the cysteines and histidines are arranged in the sequence as C4HC3-type, rather than the typical C3H2C3-type in RING-H2 finger.
