Glucagon and Insulin Cooperatively Stimulate Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Gene Transcription by Increasing the Expression of Activating Transcription Factor 4. [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that glucagon cooperatively interacts with insulin to stimulate hepatic FGF21 gene expression. Here we investigated the mechanism by which glucagon and insulin increased FGF21 gene transcription in primary hepatocyte cultures.

Activating transcription factor 4 regulates osteoclast differentiation in mice [PDF]
Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is a critical transcription factor for osteoblast (OBL) function and bone formation; however, a direct role in osteoclasts (OCLs) has not been established. Here, we targeted expression of ATF4 to the OCL lineage using the Trap promoter or through deletion of Atf4 in mice.

Activating Transcription Factor 4 Is Translationally Regulated by Hypoxic Stress [PDF]
Hypoxic stress results in a rapid and sustained inhibition of protein synthesis that is at least partially mediated by eukaryotic initiation factor 2alpha (eIF2alpha) phosphorylation by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase PERK. Here we show through microarray analysis of polysome-bound RNA in aerobic and hypoxic HeLa cells that a subset of ...

Regulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A by Activating Transcription Factor 4 [PDF]
To the Editor: In a recent article published in Circulation Research , Malabanan et al demonstrated that expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A in response to fibroblast growth factor-2 is regulated by …

Mitosin/CENP-F as a Negative Regulator of Activating Transcription Factor-4 [PDF]
Mitosin/CENP-F is a human nuclear matrix protein with multiple leucine zipper motifs. Its accumulation in S-G2 phases and transient kinetochore localization in mitosis suggest a multifunctional protein for cell proliferation. Moreover, its murine and avian orthologs are implicated in myocyte differentiation.

MicroRNA-214 Suppresses Gluconeogenesis by Targeting Activating Transcriptional Factor 4 [PDF]
Although the gluconeogenesis pathway is already a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the potential role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gluconeogenesis remains unclear. Here, we investigated the physiological functions of miR-214 in gluconeogenesis.

Activating transcription factor 4
Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) belongs to the ATF/CREB (activating transcription factor/cyclic AMP response element binding protein) family of basic region-leucine zipper (bZip) transcription factors, which have the consensus binding site cAMP responsive element (CRE). ATF4 has numerous dimerization partners. ATF4 is induced by stress signals
