DesignNote

Zinc finger protein 40 specifically binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GGGACTTTCC-3' found in the enhancer elements of viral promoters including SV40, CMV, and HIV-1 gene promoters. Related sequences are found in the enhancer elements of a number of cellular promoters, including class I MHC, interleukin-2 receptor, and interferon-beta genes. (UniProt)
