A novel cDNA EZI isolated as an oncostatin M- inducible gene encoded a protein containing 12 C2H2-type zinc fingers. EZI was found to transactivate the promoters that are also responsive to STAT3 and activated the acute phase response element (APRE) synergistically with STAT3. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated the association of EZI with STAT3, which was mediated by the N-terminal region (1-183) of EZI. The EZI mutant lacking this region showed reduced transcriptional activity, indicating that ...[more]
