Cucumber is one of the most important vegetables in the world. The C2H2 zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP) family plays an important role in the growth development and abiotic stress responses of plants. However, there have been no systematic studies on cucumber. In this study, we performed a genome-wide study of C2H2-ZFP genes and analyzed their chromosomal location, gene structure, conservation motif, and transcriptional expression. In total, 101 putative cucumber C2H2-ZFP genes were identified and divided into six groups (I–VI). RNA-seq transcriptome data on different organs revealed temporal and spatial expression specificity of the C2H2-ZFP genes. Expression analysis of sixteen selected C2H2-ZFP genes in response to cold, drought, salt, and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that C2H2-ZFP genes may be involved in different signaling pathways. These results provide valuable information for studying the function of cucumber C2H2-ZFP genes in the future.

AbstractZNF300 was recently identified as a member of the human KRAB/C2H2 zinc finger protein family. Little is known about the role of ZNF300 in human gene regulation networks. In this study, the DNA-binding property of ZNF300 was further analyzed. We found that the recombinant ZNF300 could bind to the binding site 5′-GCGGGGGCG-3′ of Egr1, another member of the KRAB/C2H2 zinc finger protein family. Similarly, recombinant Egr1 also showed a similar binding affinity to the ZNF300 binding site 5′-CTGGGGGCG-3′. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that there is an overlapping ZNF300/Egr1 binding site in the human IL-2Rβ promoter region, which was previously known to be recognized by endogenous Egr1. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that endogenous ZNF300 could also bind to this site. A transient transfection assay revealed that both ZNF300 and Egr1 could transactivate the IL-2Rβ promoter, and that the activation was abrogated by a mutation of residues in the overlapping ZNF300/Egr1 binding site. Co-expression of ZNF300 and Egr1 led to enhanced IL-2Rβ promoter activity. Thus, ZNF300 is likely to be another regulator of the human IL-2Rβ promoter.
