Activity-dependent regulation of BRINP family genes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We previously identified a family of novel developmentally regulated genes: BRINP1, 2, and 3, which are predominantly and widely expressed in the CNS from earlier developmental stages to adulthood. In the present study, we investigated the activity-dependent regulation of BRINP expression in the CNS. Among the three BRINP genes, BRINP1-mRNA was specifically up-regulated in the dentate gyrus of mouse hippocampus by kainic acid treatment. In cultured hippocampal neurons, the induction of BRINP1-mRNA was also observed by the activation of glutamate receptors. Although BDNF-mRNA is up-regulated in a similar activity-dependent manner, BDNF itself did not induce BRINP1-mRNA. From these results, the physiological roles of the activity-dependent induction of BRINP1-mRNA are discussed.

Bacillus clausii TnrA transcription factor is required for global nitrogen regulation. In order to obtain anoverview of gene regulation by TnrA in B. clausii KSMK16, the entire genome of B. clausii was screened forthe consensus sequence, 5’-TGTNAN7TNACA-3’ known as the TnrA box, and 13 transcription units werefound containing a putative TnrA box. The TnrA targets identified in...

Background: Progesterone is indispensable for differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) into decidual cells, a process that critically controls embryo implantation. However, HESCs also abundantly express androgen receptors (AR), yet the role of this member of the superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors in the decidual process remains poorly elucidated. Materials a...

Background Chromatin of male and female gametes undergoes a number of reprogramming events during the transition from germ cell to embryonic developmental programs in the zygote. This process involves reorganisation of the patterns of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), a DNA modification associated with regulation of gene activity. Notably, both maternal and paternal genomes undergo Tet3-dependent oxidati...
