Zn finger matrin-type

Introduction

C2H2 zinc finger 1st identified in the protein Matrin 3 Also found in several spliceosome RNA-binding proteins, suggesting a role in pre-mRNA binding

The matrin zinc finger follows the general pattern C-x2-C-x(12,16)-H-x5-H; the spacings are different from the 'classical' DNA-binding C2H2 zinc finger

More general terms
