Descriptions

ATF-2 is a cellular basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that can mediate diverse transcriptional responses, including activation by the adenovirus Ela protein. ATF-2 contains an activation domain, required for transcriptional activity, but in the absence of an appropriate inducer, full-length ATF-2 is transcriptionally inactive. The ATF-2 bZIP (residues 350-415) suppresses the ATF-2 and the related Ela activation domains but not acidic- and glutamine-rich activation domains. The ATF-2 bZIP and activation domain are engaged in an inhibitory intramolecular interaction and the inducers of ATF-2 disrupt this interaction to activate transcription.
