ATF1 (activating transcription factor 1)

Identity

Other names	TREB36
Hugo	ATF1
Location	12q13

DNA/RNA

Transcription

816 bp mRNA

Protein

Description	271 amino acids; possess a basic motif and a leucine-zipper; dimerisation with other ATF family members (e.g. ATF-1 homodimers and ATF-1/CREB heterodimers)
Localisation	nuclear
Function	DNA binding protein, binds the consensus sequence: 5'GTGACGT(A/C)(A/G)-3'; cAMP-inducible transcription factor (cAMP-responsive enhancer-binding protein (CRE), like CREB
Homology	members of the CREB protein family

Implicated in

Entity	malignant melanoma of soft parts
Disease	very rare neuroectodermal tumour
Prognosis	very poor
Cytogenetics	characterised by the translocation t(12;22)(q13;q12)
Hybrid/Mutated Gene	5' EWSR1- 3' ATF1
Abnormal Protein	the chimaeric protein is composed of the N-terminal domain of EWS linked to the bZIP domain of ATF-1
Oncogenesis	binds to ATF sites present in cAMP-responsive promoters via the ATF1 bZIP domain and activates transcription constitutively, dependent on the activation domain (EAD) present in EWSR1
