Fig. 6. The zinc-finger gene dzip1 is disrupted in igu mutants.
(A) Genetic map of igu mutation relative to known genes in the
region. P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) clones (below) and predicted ORFs
(arrows in the middle) are shown. (B) Sequence ferograms showing nonsense
mutations in iguts294e and igutm79a
alleles. (C) Schematic view of the structure of predicted Igu/Dzip1 protein. A
conserved domain (yellow box) has 51% identity with the human DZIP1. Putative
nuclear localization signal (NLS), zinc finger (red boxes) and PEST domains
(blue boxes) are shown. (D) Amino acid sequence of zebrafish Igu/Dzip1
protein. The NLS (gray), zinc finger (yellow) and positions of nonsense
mutations (green) are highlighted. The N-terminal conserved domain is boxed.
PEST sequences are underlined.
