Summary
ATF7 (activating transcription factor 7, HGNC:792) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.13, encoding Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-7 (P17544). Stress-responsive chromatin regulator that plays a role in various biological processes including innate immunological memory, adipocyte differentiation or telomerase regulation.
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Biomarker of colorectal cancer.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 11)
- The authors characterized the multisite phosphorylation of the ATF7 activation domain and identified one of the involved kinase, p38beta2 mitogen-activated protein kinase. (PMID:18950637)
- Data show that ATF7-4 is an important cytoplasmic negative regulator of ATF7 and ATF2 transcription factors. (PMID:21858082)
- ATF7 interacts with TAF12 and contributes to the hypersensitivity of OCL precursors to 1,25-(OH)D in PD. (PMID:23426901)
- These results suggest that the Cdk1-mediated phosphorylation of ATF7 facilitates G2/M progression, at least in part, by enabling Aurora signaling. (PMID:25545367)
- mitotic stabilized ATF7 protein re-localizes onto chromatin at the end of telophase and contributes to induce the cyclin D1 gene expression. (PMID:26101806)
- It is negatively related between ATF7 expression and pathological stage and positive correlation with OS and PFS in CRC. ATF7 expression is a favorable factor for survival of patients with CRC. (PMID:26148593)
- CARMA1- and MyD88-dependent activation of Jun/ATF-type AP-1 complexes is a hallmark of ABC diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. (PMID:26747248)
- knockdown of the mammalian homologs of PDK1 and ATF7 in HEK293 cells resulted in changes in metallothionein expression, suggesting that this pathway was evolutionarily conserved (PMID:28632756)
- ATF7 is a direct target of miR-103a-3p. In a stomach cancer cohort,miR-103a-3p expression was inversely correlated with ATF7 expression. Silencing ATF7 showed similar cellular and molecular effects as miR-103a-3p overexpression, namely, increased GC cell proliferation, improved CDK2 expression and decreased P27 expression. (PMID:29754469)
- Results found that ATF7 is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue. Its expression is regulated by miR-340 which directly binds to the mRNA encoding ATF7. Under HBV infection, miR-340 is downregulated resulting in increasing ATF7 expression, leading to enhanced cell proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis. (PMID:30891870)
- lncRNA prostate cancer-associated transcript 18 upregulates activating transcription factor 7 to prevent metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer via sponging miR-103a-3p. (PMID:34787047)

Function. Stress-responsive chromatin regulator that plays a role in various biological processes including innate immunological memory, adipocyte differentiation or telomerase regulation. In absence of stress, contributes to the formation of heterochromatin and heterochromatin-like structure by recruiting histone H3K9 tri- and di-methyltransferases thus silencing the transcription of target genes such as STAT1 in adipocytes, or genes involved in innate immunity in macrophages and adipocytes. Stress induces ATF7 phosphorylation that disrupts interactions with histone methyltransferase and enhances the association with coactivators containing histone acetyltransferase and/or histone demethylase, leading to disruption of the heterochromatin-like structure and subsequently transcriptional activation. In response to TNF, which is induced by various stresses, phosphorylated ATF7 and telomerase are released from telomeres leading to telomere shortening. Also plays a role in maintaining epithelial regenerative capacity and protecting against cell death during intestinal epithelial damage and repair. Acts as a dominant repressor of the E-selectin/NF-ELAM1/delta-A promoter. Acts as a negative regulator, inhibiting both ATF2 and ATF7 transcriptional activities. It may exert these effects by sequestrating in the cytoplasm the Thr-53 phosphorylating kinase, preventing activation.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer; binds DNA as homodimer. Heterodimer; heterodimerizes with other members of ATF family and with JUN family members. Interacts with JNK2; the interaction does not phosphorylate ATF7 but acts as a docking site for other ATF-associated partners such as JUN family members. Interacts (via its transactivation domain) with TAF12 (isoforms TAFII15 and TAFII20); the interaction potentiates the transactivation activity (isoform TAFII20 only) and is inhibited by ATF7 sumoylation. Interacts with TAF4; the interaction inhibits the TAF12-dependent transactivation. Interacts with MAPK9; the interaction does not phosphorylate ATF7 but acts as a docking site for ATF7-associated partners such as JUN. Interacts with Ku complex components XRCC6 and XRCC7. Interacts with TERT. (Microbial infection) Interacts with adenovirus 2 E1A; the interaction enhances the ATF7-mediated viral transactivation activity which requires the zinc-binding domains of both E1A and ATF7.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleoplasm. Chromosome. Telomere Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in various tissues including heart, brain, placenta, lung and skeletal muscle. Highest levels in skeletal muscle. Lowest in lung and placenta. Strongly expressed in skeletal muscle. Also expressed at lower levels in heart and lung.
Post-translational modifications. On EGF stimulation, phosphorylated first on Thr-53 allowing subsequent phosphorylation on Thr-51. This latter phosphorylation prevents sumoylation, increases binding to TAF12 and enhances transcriptional activity. Sumoylation delays nuclear localization and inhibits transactivation activity through preventing binding to TAF12. RANBP2 appears to be the specific E3 ligase. On EGF stimulation, phosphorylated first on Thr-53 allowing subsequent phosphorylation on Thr-51. This latter phosphorylation prevents sumoylation, increases binding to TAF12 and enhances transcriptional activity. Social isolation stress as well as TNF also induce the phosphorylation of ATF7. Phosphorylated in proliferating colonic and small intestinal epithelial cells.
Similarity. Belongs to the bZIP family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 77 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
