Text
  • highly expressed in embryonic olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs)
  • expressed by proliferating cerebellar granule neuron progenitor cells, in both the embryonic and postnatal cerebellar external granule layer (EGL) and in the rhombic lip, the embryonic structure from which the EGL arises
  • PROTEIN
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two N-terminal consensus MAP kinase phosphorylation sites
  • N-terminal hydrophobic amino acids play an important role in the regulation of ATF5 protein expression in IL1B-mediated immune response
  • a C-terminal bZIP motif with only 3 leucines instead of the conventional 5 (the 2 distal leucines are replaced by valines)
  • conjugated sumoylated
    mono polymer dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Atf5 (88.9 pc)
    homolog to murine Atf5 (87.5 pc)

    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a transcriptional activator
  • playing a major regulatory role in the regulation of the transition of neuroprogenitor cells to postmitotic neurons in brain development (blocking the differentiation of neuroprogenitor cells into neurons)
  • promoting degradation of KAT5
  • required for the survival of cancer cells but not for noncancer cells
  • regulates BCL2 mRNA abundance primarily at the transcription level
  • critically involved, often in a cell type-dependent manner, in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation
  • regulates cancer cell survival in a cell type-specific manner
  • critical regulator of cell proliferation and survival
  • promotes proliferation of cerebral cortical neuroprogenitor cells and its down regulation permits their differentiation
  • role for ATF5 in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation in adipose-derived stem cells
  • is required for terminal differentiation and survival of olfactory sensory neurons
  • controls the centriole-pericentriolar material(PCM) interaction in a cell-cycle- and centriole-age-dependent manner
  • is an essential structural protein that is required for the interaction between the mother centriole and the PCM
  • mammalian cells require ATF5 to maintain mitochondrial activity during mitochondrial stress and promote organelle recovery
  • cellular prosurvival transcription factor within the basic leucine zipper (bZip) family that is involved in cellular differentiation and promotes cellular adaptation to stress
  • have a critical cell cycle-dependent structural function at the centrosome
  • ATF5 SUMOylation is an essential mechanism that regulates ATF5 localization and function at the centrosome

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text cell cycle control
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • central role for the ATF5/EP300 complex in ATF5 function, suggesting that coordinated actions by ATF5, EP300, ELK1, and ERK/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) are essential for ATF5-dependent EGR1 activation and cell proliferation and survival
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding to the cAMP response element (cre) consensus 5' GTGACG(A/C)(A/G) 3'a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to GABAB receptor, GABBR1 and PRL1
  • interacting with CCND3
  • potent repressor of TP53 and elevated expression of ATF5 in a tumor may relate to enhanced malignant phenotypes, such as radioresistance or greater cell motility
  • EBF1 transcription factor binds to the ATF5 promoter and regulates the ATF5
  • BCL2 is a downstream target of ATF5 that mediates the prosurvival function of ATF5 in C6 glioma cells
  • BCR-ABL1 suppresses autophagy through ATF5-mediated regulation of MTOR transcription
  • reciprocal interaction between ATF5 and SHH in which SHH stimulates ATF5 expression and in which ATF5 contributes to SHH-stimulated cerebellar granule neuron progenitor cells expansion
  • ATF5 was also found to be a target of CEB3L2 in chondrocytes
  • DDIT3 induces ATF5 to trigger apoptosis in response to perturbations in protein homeostasis, and both ATF5 and DDIT3 have proapoptotic functions
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other transcriptional activity enhanced by CCND3 and slightly inhibited by CDK4
    protein expression increased by cisplatin via preventing the ubiquitin-dependent degradation
    SUMOylation of ATF5 is elevated in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and diminished in the G2/M phase
