Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Activating Transcription Factor-6 (ATF-6) and similar ...
292-343 1.12e-25

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Activating Transcription Factor-6 (ATF-6) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; ATF-6 is a type I membrane-bound Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that binds to the consensus ER stress response element (ERSE) and enhances the transcription of genes encoding glucose-regulated proteins Grp78, Grp94, and calreticulum. ATF-6 is one of three sensors of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in metazoans; the others being the kinases Ire1 and PERK. It contains an ER-lumenal domain that detects unfolded proteins. In response to ER stress, ATF-6 translocates from the ER to the Golgi with simultaneous cleavage in a process called regulated intramembrane proteolysis (Rip) to its transcriptionally competent form, which enters the nucleus and upregulates target UPR genes. The three UPR sensor branches cross-communicate to form a signaling network. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change. Dimerization occurs in a specific and predictable manner resulting in hundreds of dimers having unique effects on transcription.

289-344 1.45e-08

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; XBP1, a member of the Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family, is the key transcription factor that orchestrates the unfolded protein response (UPR). It is the most conserved component of the UPR and is critical for cell fate determination in response to ER stress. The inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)-XBP1 pathway is one of the three major sensors at the ER membrane that initiates the UPR upon activation. IRE1, a type I transmembrane protein kinase and endoribonuclease, oligomerizes upon ER stress leading to its increased activity. It splices the XBP1 mRNA, producing a variant that translocates to the nucleus and activates its target genes, which are involved in protein folding, degradation, and trafficking. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of small musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (Maf) proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; Maf proteins are Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors that may participate in the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, which is implicated in many cell functions including proliferation, apoptosis, survival, migration, tumorigenesis, and morphogenesis, among others. Maf proteins fall into two groups: small and large. The small Mafs (MafF, MafK, and MafG) do not contain a transactivation domain but do harbor the anxillary DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal bZIP domain. They form dimers with cap'n'collar (CNC) proteins that harbor transactivation domains, and they act either as activators or repressors depending on their dimerization partner. CNC transcription factors include NFE2 (nuclear factor, erythroid-derived 2) and similar proteins NFE2L1 (NFE2-like 1), NFE2L2, and NFE2L3, as well as BACH1 and BACH2. Small Mafs play roles in stress response and detoxification pathways. They also regulate the expression of betaA-globin and other genes activated during erythropoiesis. They have been implicated in various diseases such as diabetes, neurological diseases, thrombocytopenia and cancer. Triple deletion of the three small Mafs is embryonically lethal. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

291-352 3.96e-04

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Yeast Activator Protein (YAP) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; This subfamily is composed predominantly of AP-1-like transcription factors including Saccharomyces cerevisiae YAPs, Schizosaccharomyces pombe PAP1, and similar proteins. Members of this subfamily belong to the Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family of transcription factors. The YAP subfamily is composed of eight members (YAP1-8) which may all be involved in stress responses. YAP1 is the major oxidative stress regulator and is also involved in iron metabolism (like YAP5) and detoxification of arsenic (like YAP8). YAP2 is involved in cadmium stress responses while YAP4 and YAP6 play roles in osmotic stress. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change. Dimerization occurs in a specific and predictable manner resulting in hundreds of dimers having unique effects on transcription.

292-334 4.84e-04

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of blue light (BL) receptor aureochrome (AUREO) and similar bZIP domains; AUREO is a BL-activated transcription factor specific to phototrophic stramenopiles. It has a bZIP and a BL-sensing light-oxygen voltage (LOV) domain. It has been shown to mediate BL-induced branching and regulate the development of the sex organ in Vaucheria frigida. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change. Dimerization occurs in a specific and predictable manner resulting in hundreds of dimers having unique effects on transcription. This subgroup also includes the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immediate-early transcription factor ZEBRA (BZLF1, Zta, Z, EB1). ZEBRA exhibits a variant of the bZIP fold, it has a unique dimer interface and a substantial hydrophobic pocket; it has a C-terminal moiety which stabilizes the coiled coil involved in dimer formation. ZEBRA functions to trigger the switch of EBV's biphasic infection cycle from latent to lytic infection. It activates the promoters of EBV lytic genes by binding ZEBRA response elements (ZREs) and inducing a cascade of expression of over 50 viral genes. It also down regulates latency-associated promoters, is an essential replication factor, induces host cell cycle arrest, and alters cellular immune responses and transcription factor activity.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Hepatic leukemia factor (HLF) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; HLF, also called vitellogenin gene-binding protein (VBP) in birds, is a circadian clock-controlled Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor which is a direct transcriptional target of CLOCK/BMAL1. It is implicated, together with bZIPs DBP and TEF, in the regulation of genes involved in the metabolism of endobiotic and xenobiotic agents. Triple knockout mice display signs of early aging and suffer premature death, likely due to impaired defense against xenobiotic stress. A leukemogenic translocation results in the chimeric fusion protein E2A-HLF that results in a rare form of pro-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of BATF proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor ATF-like (BATF or SFA2), BATF2 (or SARI) and BATF3 form heterodimers with Jun proteins. They function as inhibitors of AP-1-driven transcription. Unlike most bZIP transcription factors that contain additional domains, BATF and BATF3 contain only the the bZIP DNA-binding and dimerization domain. BATF2 contains an additional C-terminal domain of unknown function. BATF:Jun hetrodimers preferentially bind to TPA response elements (TREs) with the consensus sequence TGA(C/G)TCA, and can also bind to a TGACGTCA cyclic AMP response element (CRE). In addition to negative regulation, BATF proteins also show positive transcriptional activities in the development of classical dendritic cells and T helper cell subsets, and in antibody production. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of the oncogene Fos (Fos)-like transcription factors: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; This subfamily is composed of Fos proteins (c-Fos, FosB, Fos-related antigen 1 (Fra-1), and Fra-2), Activating Transcription Factor-3 (ATF-3), and similar proteins. Fos proteins are members of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, which is mainly composed of bZIP dimers of the Jun and Fos families, and to a lesser extent, ATF and musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (Maf) families. The broad combinatorial possibilities for various dimers determine binding specificity, affinity, and the spectrum of regulated genes. The AP-1 complex is implicated in many cell functions including proliferation, apoptosis, survival, migration, tumorigenesis, and morphogenesis, among others. ATF3 is induced by various stress signals such as cytokines, genotoxic agents, or physiological stresses. It is implicated in cancer and host defense against pathogens.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (Maf) proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; Maf proteins are Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors that may participate in the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, which is implicated in many cell functions including proliferation, apoptosis, survival, migration, tumorigenesis, and morphogenesis, among others. Maf proteins fall into two groups: small and large. The large Mafs (c-Maf, MafA, MafB, NRL) contain an N-terminal transactivation domain, a linker region of varying size, an anxillary DNA-binding domain, and a C-terminal bZIP domain. They function as critical regulators of terminal differentiation in the blood and in many tissues such as bone, brain, kidney, pancreas, and retina. The small Mafs (MafF, MafK, MafG) do not contain a transactivation domain. They form dimers with cap'n'collar (CNC) proteins that harbor transactivation domains, and they act either as activators or repressors depending on their dimerization partner. They play roles in stress response and detoxification pathways. They have been implicated in various diseases such as diabetes, neurological diseases, thrombocytopenia and cancer. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.
