Activating transcription factor-4
Background
ATF-4 (Activating transcription factor 4) belongs to bZIP transcription-factor family and governs transcriptional responses to ER stress and amino-acid deprivation. Under homeostatic conditions, ATF-4 protein is kept at low abundance. Upon ER stress, amino-acid shortage or oxidative insult, eIF2α phosphorylation selectively enhances ATF-4 translation. Nuclear-translocated ATF-4 binds CRE/ATF cis-elements and modulates target-gene networks for amino-acid transport, oxidative-stress defence and ER-homeostasis maintenance. Sustained ATF-4 activation triggers CHOP-dependent apoptosis. ATF-4 contributes to tumor metabolism, drug resistance and metabolic disorders. It acts as a stress-pathway hub for ER-stress, nutrient-sensing and tumor-biology investigations.
