Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-4

ATF4, Activating Transcription Factor 4, is also know as CREB2. ATF4 belongs to the large ATF/CREB family of transcription factors which bind DNA via their basic region and dimerize via their leucine zipper domain to form a variety of homo- and heterodimers to regulate gene transcription. It is identified that members of this family share significant sequence similarity within a leucine zipper DNA-binding motif and an adjacent basic region. The ATF4 gene is mapped to chromosome 22. Unlike CREB, which activates transcription from CRE-containing promoters, CREB2 functions as a specific repressor of CRE-dependent transcription. The transcriptional repressor activity resides within the C-terminal leucine zipper and basic domain region of the CREB2 protein.

Transcriptional activator. Binds the cAMP response element (CRE) (consensus: 5'-GTGACGT[AC][AG]-3'), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. Cooperates with FOXO1 in osteoblasts to regulate glucose homeostasis through suppression of beta-cell production and decrease in insulin production (By similarity). It binds to a Tax-responsive enhancer element in the long terminal repeat of HTLV-I. Regulates the induction of DDIT3/CHOP and asparagine synthetase (ASNS) in response to ER stress. In concert with DDIT3/CHOP, activates the transcription of TRIB3 and promotes ER stress-induced neuronal apoptosis by regulating the transcriptional induction of BBC3/PUMA. Activates transcription of SIRT4. Regulates the circadian expression of the core clock component PER2 and the serotonin transporter SLC6A4. Binds in a circadian time-dependent manner to the cAMP response elements (CRE) in the SLC6A4 and PER2 promoters and periodically activates the transcription of these genes.
