ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) is an osteoblast-enriched transcription factor that
regulates terminal osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. ATF4 knock-out mice have
reduced bone mass (severe osteoporosis) throughout life. Runx2 (runt-related transcription
factor 2) is a runt domain-containing transcription factor that is essential for bone formation
during embryogenesis and postnatal life. In this study, we identified general transcription
factor IIAγ (TFIIAγ) as a Runx2-interacting factor in a yeast two-hybrid screen …
