The role of ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) in osteoblast differentiation and bone
formation was recently described using ATF4-deficient mice (Yang, X., Matsuda, K., Bialek,
P., Jacquot, S., Masuoka, HC, Schinke, T., Li, L., Brancorsini, S., Sassone-Corsi, P., Townes,
TM, Hanauer, A., and Karsenty, G.(2004) Cell 117, 387–398). However, the mechanisms of
ATF4 in bone cells are still not clear. In this study, we determined the molecular mechanisms
through which ATF4 activates the mouse osteocalcin (Ocn) gene 2 (mOG2) expression and …
