“…This DNA consensus sequence is evolutionarily conserved in fungi, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, such as zebrafish, Xenopus , chicken, and mammals, further supporting the notion that GATA family members play important roles in the regulation of crucial cellular processes . In mammals, GATA1, GATA2, and GATA3 have important roles primarily, but not exclusively, within the hematopoietic system and GATA4, GATA5, and GATA6 drive the differentiation of mesoderm and endoderm‐derived tissues, thus regulating diverse developmental processes within the cardiac, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and gonadal systems . The binding of GATA transcription factors to the WGATAR sequence motif depends highly on the C‐terminal zinc finger (C‐ZnF), while the N‐terminal zinc finger (N‐ZnF) domain may bind to sites containing additional canonical, noncanonical (GATC), or palindromic GATA motifs, or may strengthen binding through interaction with other surrounding DNA motifs, mainly in partnership with other transcriptional cofactors .…”
