Reprogramming of lysosomal gene expression by interleukin-4 and Stat6. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lysosomes play important roles in multiple aspects of physiology, but the problem of how the transcription of lysosomal genes is coordinated remains incompletely understood.

STAT6 and PARP Family Members in the Development of T Cell-dependent Allergic Inflammation [PDF]
Allergic inflammation requires the orchestration of altered gene expression in the target tissue and in the infiltrating immune cells. The transcription factor STAT6 is critical in activating cytokine gene expression and cytokine signaling both in the ...

DNA binding and transcription activation specificity of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 [PDF]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF-4) is an orphan intracellular receptor that appears to be a key factor in the regulation of energy metabolism. In order to gain greater understanding of the binding and activation requirements of HNF-4, we performed genetic analysis of the apoCIII promoter, a promoter that has previously been shown to be highly ...

ATF4 selectively regulates heat nociception and contributes to kinesin-mediated TRPM3 trafficking
The molecular mechanisms mediating nociception are unclear. Here, the authors show that the Activating Transcription Factor 4 (ATF4) is important for the response to heat nociception in mice and ATF4 role in mediating protein trafficking in dorsal root ...

OPA1 deletion in brown adipose tissue improves thermoregulation and systemic metabolism via FGF21
Adrenergic stimulation of brown adipocytes alters mitochondrial dynamics, including the mitochondrial fusion protein optic atrophy 1 (OPA1). However, direct mechanisms linking OPA1 to brown adipose tissue (BAT) physiology are incompletely understood.

General Transcription Factor IIA-γ Increases Osteoblast-specific Osteocalcin Gene Expression via Activating Transcription Factor 4 and Runt-related Transcription Factor 2 [PDF]
ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) is an osteoblast-enriched transcription factor that regulates terminal osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. ATF4 knock-out mice have reduced bone mass (severe osteoporosis) throughout life. Runx2 (runt-related transcription factor 2) is a runt domain-containing transcription factor that is essential ...

Activating transcription factor 4 confers a multidrug resistance phenotype to gastric cancer cells through transactivation of SIRT1 expression. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistance (MDR) in gastric cancer remains a major challenge to clinical treatment. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is a stress response gene involved in homeostasis and cellular protection.
