Abstract
► Yeast two-hybrid screening revealed Zfp90 as a novel NRSF-binding protein. ► Zfp90 attenuated the repressor activity of NRSF by inhibiting its binding to DNA. ► Knockdown of Zfp90 in cardiac myocytes led to reduced expression of ANP and BNP genes. ► Overexpression of Zfp90 in ventricular myocardium increased the expression of ANP and BNP genes. ► Expression of Zfp90 mRNA was significantly upregulated in mouse and human failing hearts.
