Disease relevance of ATF1

 

High impact information on ATF1

  • The deduced chimaeric protein encoded by the der(22) chromosome consists of the N-terminal domain of EWS linked to the bZIP domain of ATF-1, a transcription factor which may normally be regulated by cAMP [6].
  • These studies show that phosphorylation and association with Atf1 are required for nuclear localization of Spc1 [7].
  • This control is partly mediated through Atf1, a transcription factor homologous to human ATF2 [8].
  • How Spc1 controls Atf1, and how the cells tailor gene expression patterns to different forms of stress, are unknown [8].
  • Csx1 associates with and stabilizes atf1+ mRNA in response to oxidative stress [8].

Other interactions of ATF1

  • These structural features and DNA binding properties suggest that TREB proteins are members of a CREB protein family and that some of them (i.e., TREB7 and TREB36) may be involved in p40tax-mediated trans-activation [30].
  • A large family of mammalian transcription factors including multiple variants of CREB, CREM and ATF1 have been implicated in signal transduction by cAMP and other cellular pathways [31].
  • The AFH, however, did not express the MITF-M transcript, supporting the theory that MITF-M expression in CCS is a reflection of its cellular origin, rather than a consequence of the presence of an EWSR1-ATF1 fusion protein [3].
  • TREB7 and TREB36 protected all three repeats of the 21 bp, but TREB5 protected only the second repeat [30].
  • Furthermore, transient cotransfections of a CIITA-PIII luciferase reporter construct with either CREB-1 or ATF-1 boost CIITA-PIII trans-activation in a dose-dependent manner, which was further enhanced by addition of general coactivator CREB-binding protein [32].
