Abstract
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is used in the clinic for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia by targeting the protein PML. However, many zinc-finger proteins could also be reactive to arsenic in cells. Here we found that ATO preferentially binds to the ring-finger domain of PML in a protein mixture with zinc-finger domains. These results provide the molecular basis of the target selection of ATO in cells.Entities:
