ATF1 Break Apart FISH Probe

Empire Genomics’ ATF1 Break Apart FISH Probe is designed to flank the ATF1 gene and is typically used for detecting ATF1 rearrangements such as translocations. This probe is FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei. The probe comes labeled in orange and green by default, but may be customized to meet your needs.

Gene Summary

This gene encodes an activating transcription factor, which belongs to the ATF subfamily and bZIP (basic-region leucine zipper) family. It influences cellular physiologic processes by regulating the expression of downstream target genes, which are related to growth, survival, and other cellular activities. This protein is phosphorylated at serine 63 in its kinase-inducible domain by serine/threonine kinases, cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I/II, mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase 3 (cdk-3). Its phosphorylation enhances its transactivation and transcriptional activities, and enhances cell transformation. Fusion of this gene and FUS on chromosome 16 or EWSR1 on chromosome 22 induced by translocation generates chimeric proteins in angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma and clear cell sarcoma. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Detection of specific gene rearrangements by fluorescence in situ hybridization in 16 cases of clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue and 6 cases of clear cell sarcoma-like gastrointestinal tumor

Clear cell sarcoma can be identified by the fusion of EWSR1 to CREB genes like ATF1 and CREB1. FISH was used to analyze the arrangements of the genes. FISH analysis was performed with our dual-color break apart probes for ATF1, CREB1, and CREM. It was determined that EWSR1-ATF1 fusion was primarily found in clear cell sarcoma in soft tissue, while EWSR1-CREB1 fusion was found in clear cell sarcoma-like gastrointestinal tumors.
