ID:ATF4_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-4; Short=cAMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-4; AltName: Full=Activating transcription factor 4; AltName: Full=Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 2; Short=CREB-2; Short=cAMP-responsive element-binding protein 2; AltName: Full=DNA-binding protein TAXREB67; AltName: Full=Tax-responsive enhancer element-binding protein 67; Short=TaxREB67; FUNCTION: 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. SUBUNIT: Binds DNA as a homo- or heterodimer. Interacts (via its leucine zipper domain) with GABBR1 and GABBR2 (via their C- termini). Interacts (via its DNA binding domain) with FOXO1 (C- terminal half); the interaction occurs in osteoblasts and regulates glucose homeostasis through suppression of beta-cell proliferation and a decrease in insulin production. Interacts with SATB2; the interaction results in enhanced DNA binding and transactivation by these transcription factors (By similarity). Interacts with CEP290 (via an N-terminal region). Interacts with NEK6, DAPK2 (isoform 2) and ZIPK/DAPK3. Forms a heterodimer with TXLNG in osteoblasts. Interacts with DDIT3/CHOP. INTERACTION: Q9NRI5:DISC1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-492498, EBI-529989; Q96RU7:TRIB3; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-492498, EBI-492476; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, centrosome. Note=Colocalizes with GABBR1 in hippocampal neuron dendritic membranes (By similarity). Co- localizes with NEK6 in the centrosome. PTM: Phosphorylated by NEK6. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bZIP (basic-leucine zipper) domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
