Amino acid sequences of the regions around the zinc (zn) fingers of the various GATA proteins. The amino acid sequences were retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information database. Amino acid positions mutated in this study are indicated by boxes. The gene accession numbers for human GATA2 (hGATA2), mouse GATA2 (mGATA2), rat GATA2 (rGATA2), chicken (Gallus gallus) GATA2 (cGATA2), frog (Xenopus laevis) GATA2 (xGATA2), and fish (Danio rerio) GATA2 (fGATA2) are M68891, NM_008090, AY032734, NM_00100, XM_018256579, and NM_131233, respectively. The gene accession numbers for human GATA1, GATA3, GATA4, GATA5, and GATA6 are NM_002049, AY497006, AY740706, NM_080473, and NM_005257, respectively. ZF1, N-terminal zinc-finger domain; ZF2, C-terminal zinc finger domain.
