Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. ZNF198 (zinc finger 198), also known as ZMYM2 (zinc finger, MYM-type 2), FIM, MYM, RAMP or SCLL, is a 1,377 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and contains nine MYM-type zinc fingers. Thought to be a component of the BHC histone deacetylase complex, ZNF198 interacts with HDAC1 and HDAC2 and is thought to stabilize the BHC complex via its MYM-type zinc fingers. The gene encoding ZNF198 is subject to a translocation with Flg, an event that may be involved in the pathogenesis of stem cell leukemia lymphoma syndrome (SCLL), a lymphoblastic lymphoma often accompanied by pronounced peripheral eosinophilia and/or prominent eosinophilic infiltrates in the affected bone marrow.
