ATF-7IP (Activating transcription factor 7-interacting protein 1, MBD1-containing chromatin-associated factor 1) is a 1,270 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene ATF7IP. ATF-7IP can both act as an activator or a repressor depending on the context. ATF-7IP functions as a recruiter that couples transcriptional factors to general transcription apparatus and thereby modulates transcription regulation and chromatin formation. It mediates MBD1-dependent transcriptional repression, probably by recruiting complexes containing SETDB1. ATF-7IP is required to stimulate the histone methyltransferase activity of SETDB1 and it facilitates the conversion of dimethylated to trimethylated H3 'Lys-9'. The complex formed by ATF-7IP, MBD1 and SETDB1 also acts to couple DNA methylation to histone 'Lys-9' trimethylation.
