Disease relevance of ATBF1

 

High impact information on ATBF1

 

Biological context of ATBF1

  • We have isolated a full-length cDNA encoding a protein (ATBF1) that binds to an AT-rich motif in the human alpha-fetoprotein gene enhancer [8].
  • Recently, it has been reported that ATBF1 regulates myoblastic differentiation and interacts with v-Myb in regulation of its transactivation [9].
  • We present here experimental evidence that ATBF1 is a new regulatory factor for STAT3-mediated signal transduction through its interaction with PIAS3 [9].
  • ATBF1 is a 306-kDa protein containing four homeodomains, 17 zinc finger motifs, and several segments potentially involved in transcriptional regulation (T. Morinaga, H. Yasuda, T. Hashimoto, K. Higashio, and T. Tamaoki, Mol. Cell. Biol. 11:6041-6049, 1991) [10].
  • CAT assays showed the direct inhibition of AFP gene expression by ATBF1 [5].
 

Anatomical context of ATBF1

 

Associations of ATBF1 with chemical compounds

  • There was a positive correlation (P less than 0.001) between ATBF and serum T3 and T4 levels and an inverse correlation (P less than 0.01) between ATBF and plasma norepinephrine levels [12].
  • Endurance training alone did not affect subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue lipolysis either at rest or during exercise, as reflected by identical levels of interstitial adipose tissue glycerol, subcutaneous abdominal ATBF, and plasma nonesterified fatty acids before and after completion of the training program [13].
 

Physical interactions of ATBF1

  • In co-transfection experiments, the full-length ATBF1 was found to form complexes with PIAS3 in Hep G2 cells [9].
 

Regulatory relationships of ATBF1

  • In conclusion, ATBF1 can suppress the IL-6-mediated cellular response by acting together with PIAS3 [9].
  • Taken together, these results corroborated the previous reports that ATBF1 regulated AFP expression and inhibited transcription [2].
