FUSION GENES
DNA/RNA
Description
10 exons, DNA size: 261.32 kb.
Transcription
two isoforms ATBF1-A and ATBF1-B, due to alternative promotor usage combined with alternative splicing, mRNA-size: 11893 bp.
Proteins
Description
3703 amino acids; 404 kDa; four homeodomains and 23 zinc fingers including 1 pseudo zinc finger motif, one DEAD and one DEAH box, a RNA and an ATP binding site, two large RS domains and multiple phosphorylation sites.
Expression
Embryonic and neonatal brain.
Localisation
nuclear
Function
Transcription factor that binds to the AT-rich core sequence of the enhancer element of the AFP gene and downregulates AFP gene expression, possibly involved in neuronal differentiation (ATBF1-A).
Homology
mouse atbf1, drosophila zfh2 and C. Elegans ZC 123.3
Mutations
Somatic
Amplification, in one early neural crest derived cell line SJNB-12 under the form of extrachromosomally double minutes, non-syntenic co-amplification with MYC.
Absence of ATBF1 expression in alpha-fetoprotein expressing gastric cancer cell lines, lack of ATBF1 expression not due to mutation, deletion or translocation but to strong repression at the transcriptional level.
Absence of ATBF1 expression in alpha-fetoprotein expressing gastric cancer cell lines, lack of ATBF1 expression not due to mutation, deletion or translocation but to strong repression at the transcriptional level.
Implicated in
Disease
Early neural crest derived cell line (SJNB-12).
Prognosis
unknown
Cytogenetics
Several structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations and presence of extrachromosomally double minutes and homogenously staining regions, presence of a reciprocal unbalanced t(8;16)(q24.3;q22.3).
Oncogenesis
Amplification in one neural crest derived cell line (SJNB-12), non-syntenic co-amplification with MYC.
Disease
Alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric cancer cell lines (GCIY and Ist-I).
Prognosis
poor (very malignant and highly metastatic cancer)
Oncogenesis
Alpha-fetoprotein producing cancer cell lines show absence of ATBF1 expression, lack of ATBF1 expression not due to deletion mutation or translocation but to strong repression at the transcriptional level.
