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. 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. : Pssm-ID: 269865 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 70 Bit Score: 123.63 E-value: 2.07e-37

Maf proteins fall into two groups: small and large. The large Mafs (c-Maf, MafA, MafB, and neural retina leucine zipper or NRL) contain an N-terminal transactivation domain, a linker region of varying size, an anxillary DNA-binding domain, 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. MafA and MafB also play crucial roles in islet beta cells; they regulate genes essential for glucose sensing and insulin secretion cooperatively and sequentially. Large Mafs are also implicated in oncogenesis; MafB and c-Maf chromosomal translocations result in multiple myelomas. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes.

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. It negatively regulates the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines and is critical in preventing acute inflammatory syndromes. ATF3 dimerizes with Jun and other ATF proteins; the heterodimers function either as activators or repressors depending on the promoter context. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes.

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. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Activating Transcription Factor-2 (ATF-2) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; ATF-2 is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that belongs to the Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family of transcription factors. In response to stress, it activates a variety of genes including cyclin A, cyclin D, and c-Jun. ATF-2 also plays a role in the DNA damage response that is independent of its transcriptional activity. 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 Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 1 (CREB1) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; CREB1 is a Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that plays a role in propagating signals initiated by receptor activation through the induction of cAMP-responsive genes. Because it responds to many signal transduction pathways, CREB1 is implicated to function in many processes including learning, memory, circadian rhythm, immune response, and reproduction, among others. 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): a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; Fos proteins are members of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, which is mainly composed of Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) dimers of the Jun and Fos families, and to a lesser extent, the activating transcription factor (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. There are four Fos proteins: c-Fos, FosB, Fos-related antigen 1 (Fra-1), and Fra-2. In addition, FosB also exists as smaller splice variants FosB2 and deltaFosB2. They all contain an N-terminal region and a bZIP domain. c-Fos and FosB also contain a C-terminal transactivation domain which is absent in Fra-1/2 and the smaller FosB variants. Fos proteins can only heterodimerize with Jun and other AP-1 proteins, but cannot homodimerize. Fos:Jun heterodimers are more stable and can bind DNA with more affinity that Jun:Jun homodimers. Fos proteins can enhance the trans-activating and transforming properties of Jun proteins. 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.
