    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in embryonic brain; embryonic/larval midgut; larval ventral nerve cord; and organism. Orthologous to several human genes including ZNF221 (zinc finger protein 221); ZNF284 (zinc finger protein 284); and ZNF41 (zinc finger protein 41).

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. A search for co-factors identified the ubiquitously expressed Combgap (Cg) as a novel transcriptional partner that impedes cell cycle exit and interferes with Eya-So activity specifically in this context. Cg acts as a flexible transcriptional platform that contributes to numerous gene expression outcomes by a variety of mechanisms.
      Title: Pleiotropy in Drosophila organogenesis: Mechanistic insights from Combgap and the retinal determination gene network.
    2. Uncover a novel role for Eya and So in promoting cell cycle exit in the retinal second mitotic wave (SMW), a synchronized, terminal cell division that occurs several hours after passage of the furrow. We show that Combgap (Cg), a zinc-finger transcription factor, antagonizes Eya-So function in the SMW.
      Title: Antagonistic regulation of the second mitotic wave by Eyes absent-Sine oculis and Combgap coordinates proliferation and specification in the Drosophila retina.
    3. Polytene chromosome stains showed that Cg co-localizes with EcR, the major regulator of BR-C, at the BR-C locus and that EcR binding to chromatin was sensitive to changes in Cg levels
      Title: Combgap Promotes Ovarian Niche Development and Chromatin Association of EcR-Binding Regions in BR-C.
    4. Combgap binds to GTGT motifs, which are present within the regulatory regions of Polycomb group target genes. Genome-wide analyses suggest that Combgap may directly recruit Polyhomeotic, a Polycomb group protein.
