Disease relevance of ATF2

  • In contrast to v-Jun, v-Jun-m1 gave rise to numerous fibrosarcomas while coexpression of ATF2 and v-Jun-m1 led to a dramatic development of fibrosarcomas visible within 1 week [1].
 

High impact information on ATF2

  • Experiments were designed to evaluate a possible role of ATF2 in oncogenesis in chick embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) in the presence or absence of v-Jun [1].
  • These results suggest an important role for c-Fos and ATF-2 in glucagon-mediated inhibition of transcription of the malic enzyme gene [2].
  • Recent experiments using a fusion protein have shown that E1A can function through a specific CRE (cyclic AMP response element)-binding protein, CRE-BP1 (also designated ATF-2), which stimulates the transcription from a CRE-containing promoter by homodimer formation or heterodimer formation with c-Jun [3].
  • Furthermore, okadaic acid caused an increase of the threonine phosphorylation of protein kinase Czeta (PKCzeta) and activator of transcription factor (ATF2) and a decrease of the phosphorylation of Sp1 [4].
