    Abstract:
    Initially characterized as Drosophila developmental regulators, the BTB/POZ and zinc finger proteins (BTB/POZ-ZF) constitute a growing family of proteins with gene expression regulatory functions since they have been shown to be involved in both transcriptional activation and repression of various genes in a broad range of species, including mammals. Here we report the cloning of a novel human transcript, coding for a 68-kDa deduced BTB/POZ-ZF protein. This molecule, called myoneurin on the basis of its prevalent expression in the neuromuscular system, contains an amino-terminal BTB/POZ domain and eight tandemly repeated zinc-finger motifs of the C(2)H(2) type. The murine myoneurin, identified in the mouse embryo, is highly homologous to the human protein.
