Summary
ATF7IP (activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein, HGNC:20092) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.1, encoding Activating transcription factor 7-interacting protein 1 (Q6VMQ6). Recruiter that couples transcriptional factors to general transcription apparatus and thereby modulates transcription regulation and chromatin formation.
ATF7IP is a multifunctional nuclear protein that associates with heterochromatin. It can act as a transcriptional coactivator or corepressor depending upon its binding partners (summary by Liu et al., 2009 [PubMed 19106100]).

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 16)
- mAM/hAM facilitates conversion of H3-K9 dimethyl to trimethyl by ESET/SETDB1 (PMID:14536086)
- These data suggest that MBD1.MCAF1.SETDB1 complex facilitates the formation of heterochromatic domains, emphasizing the role of MCAF/AM family proteins in epigenetic control, and describe a new family member, MCAF2. (PMID:15691849)
- MBD1- and MCAF1-mediated heterochromatin formation involves SUMO modification (PMID:16757475)
- the acidic stretch of the SIM of MCAF1 plays an important role in the binding to SUMO-3. (PMID:18842587)
- Two evolutionarily conserved domains of MCAF1 directly interact with Sp1 and the general transcriptional apparatus. Selective depletion of MCAF1 or Sp1 down-regulates TERT and TERC genes in cultured cells, which results in decreased telomerase activity. (PMID:19106100)
- Studies identified three new susceptibility loci DMRT1, TERT and ATF7IP associated with testicular germ cell cancer. (PMID:20543847)
- Genetic variants at ATF7IP and KLK2 contribute to the variance of %fPSA. (PMID:23359319)
- The transcriptional cofactor MCAF1/ATF7IP is involved in histone gene expression and cellular senescence. (PMID:23935871)
- We demonstrated the importance of Aire’s interaction with the ATF7ip-MBD1 protein complex in maintaining central tolerance (PMID:24464130)
- these results indicate a critical role for MCAF1 in AP-1-dependent Rta activation of BZLF1 transcription. (PMID:24598729)
- results indicate that ATF7IP does not directly modulate SETDB1 catalytic activity, suggesting alternate roles, such as affecting cellular localization or mediating interaction with additional binding partners. (PMID:26813693)
- these data identify a critical functional role for ATF7IP in heterochromatin formation by regulating SETDB1 abundance in the nucleus. (PMID:27732843)
- Here we report on a special case of a Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient who had a variant ATF7IP/PDGFRB fusion. In this case, a variant fusion was created between ATF7IP exon 9 (instead of exon 13) and PDGFRB exon 11, resulting in the loss of 411 nucleotides and 137 amino acids in the ATF7IP/PDGFRB fusion cDNA and its encoded chimeric protein, respectively. (PMID:29133777)
- Although these genes are normally expressed at low amounts in hESCs, HTT knockdown (KD) reduces their induction during neural differentiation. Notably, mutant expanded polyglutamine repeats in HTT diminish its interaction with ATF7IP-SETDB1 complex and trigger H3K9me3 in HD-iPSCs. (PMID:30452683)
- ATF7IP promotes the nuclear localization of SETDB1. (PMID:31576654)

Function. Recruiter that couples transcriptional factors to general transcription apparatus and thereby modulates transcription regulation and chromatin formation. Can both act as an activator or a repressor depending on the context. Required for HUSH-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene silencing. Mediates MBD1-dependent transcriptional repression, probably by recruiting complexes containing SETDB1. Stabilizes SETDB1, is required to stimulate histone methyltransferase activity of SETDB1 and facilitates the conversion of dimethylated to trimethylated H3 ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me3). The complex formed with MBD1 and SETDB1 represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone H3 ‘Lys-9’ trimethylation (H3K9me3). Facilitates telomerase TERT and TERC gene expression by SP1 in cancer cells.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with MBD1; the interaction is enhanced when MBD1 is sumoylated. Interacts with SETDB1; the interaction protects SETDB1 from proteasomal degradation and is required to stimulate histone methyltransferase activity and facilitate the conversion of dimethylated to trimethylated H3 ‘Lys-9’. Interacts with SUMO ubiquitin-like proteins (SUMO1, SUNO2 and SUMO3), with a preference for SUMO2 and SUMO3. Interacts with SP1, ATF7 and ZHX1. Interacts with the general transcription machinery, including ERCC2, ERCC3, GTF2E1, GTF2E2 and POLR2A. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus BRLF1/Rta protein, leading to the regulation of host genes in Epstein-Barr virus-infected cells.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Detected at low levels in breast, lung and stomach; highly up-regulated in the corresponding cancerous tissues (at protein level).
Similarity. Belongs to the MCAF family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 133 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.
