§,
From the Members of the Ikaros family of transcription
factors, Ikaros, Aiolos, and Helios, are expressed in lymphocytes and
have been implicated in controlling lymphoid development. These
proteins contain two characteristic clusters of zinc fingers, an
N-terminal domain important for DNA recognition, and a C-terminal
domain that mediates homo- and heterotypic associations between family members. The conservation of these domains is such that all three proteins recognize related DNA sequences, and all are capable of
dimerizing with other family members. Here we describe two additional
Ikaros family proteins, Eos and Pegasus. Eos is most highly related to
Helios and shares its DNA binding and protein association properties.
Pegasus is related to other Ikaros proteins in its C-terminal
dimerization domain but contains a divergent N-terminal zinc finger
domain. Pegasus self-associates and binds to other family members but
recognizes distinct DNA-binding sites. Eos and Pegasus repress the
expression of reporter genes containing their recognition
elements. Our results suggest that these proteins may associate with
previously described Ikaros family proteins in lymphoid cells and play
additional roles in other tissues.
