The cloning, DNA sequence analysis and expression pattern of a chicken cDNA, cKr2, is described. cKr2 is a 4492-bp cDNA that encodes a 1173-amino-acid (aa) protein with two domains: the N-terminal portion contains 16 zinc fingers (Zf) of the 2Cys + 2His class, while the C-terminal domain contains a stretch of 181 aa which consists of seven consecutive sequence repeats each being 24 aa in length. The aa sequence repeats harbor a putative DNA-binding helix-turn-helix motif. Northern and Western blotting experiments indicate cKr2 expression from days 2 to 12 of development. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analyses using an anti-cKr2 antibody and the HNK-1 antibody, a marker of neural crest cells, revealed cKr2 activity in cephalic and trunk neural crest-derived cells. cKr2 is expressed predominantly in differentiating Schwann cells lining the nerves which innervate the branchial arches and limb buds, in cells of the sympathetic ganglia and aortic plexus, and in putative neuroblasts of dorsal root ganglia. The nuclear localization of the cKr2-encoded protein is consistent with its presumed role as a transcription factor.
