Genome-wide distribution of histone H3K18 and H3K27 acetyltransferases, CBP (CREBBP) and p300 (EP300), is used to map enhancers and promoters, but whether these elements functionally require CBP/p300 remains largely uncertain. Here we compared global CBP recruitment with gene expression in wild-type and CBP/p300 double-knockout (dKO) fibroblasts. ChIP-seq using CBP-null cells as a control revea...

The p300/CREB-binding protein (CBP) family of proteins consists of coactivators that influence the activity of a wide variety of transcription factors. Although the mechanisms that allow p300/CBP proteins to achieve transcriptional control are not clear, it is believed that the regulation of chromatin is an important aspect of the process. Here, we describe a new level of p300-dependent control...

Previous studies have demonstrated moderate heritability of the P300 component of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and high heritability of background electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum. However, it is unclear whether EEG and ERPs are influenced by common or independent genetic factors. This study examined phenotypic and genetic correlations between EEG spectral power and P300 ampli...

The study was conducted to investigate the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus on cognitive functions by measuring event related potential P300 (ERP P300) in 30 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 46-75 years with disease duration more than 5 years and compared them with control group. Diabetics had significantly longer P300 latency which was neither correlated with plasma glucose level...

The P300 (P3) wave of the auditory brain event-related potential was investigated in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease to determine whether P300 latency discriminated these patients from controls and whether prolonged P300 latency correlated with rates of brain glucose metabolism as measured by Positron Emission Tomography. P300 latency was prolonged by more than 1.5 standard deviation...

The transcriptional co-activator p300 has been reported to regulate the tumor suppressor p53 and its ortholog p73. Here we describe a study showing that this coactivator also regulates the transcriptional function of p63. p300 bound to the N-terminal domain of p63gamma, and p63gamma bound to the N terminus of p300 in vitro and in cells. p300, but not its acetylase-defective mutant AT2, stimulat...

We previously identified a major enhancer of the mouse ferritin H gene (FER-1) that is central to repression of the ferritin H gene by the adenovirus E1A oncogene (Tsuji, Y., Akebi, N., Lam, T. K., Nakabeppu, Y., Torti, S. V., and Torti, F. M. (1995) Mol. Cell. Biol. 15, 5152-5164). To dissect the molecular mechanism of transcriptional regulation of ferritin H, E1A mutants were tested for their...

Previous studies have shown that the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E6 protein binds to p300/CBP and abrogates its transcriptional co-activator function. However, there is little information on the biological consequences of this interaction and discrepancy as to whether the interaction is high-risk E6 specific or not. We performed a series of studies to compare the interactions of HPV-1...

A brain-computer interface (BCI) enables communication without movement based on brain signals measured with electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs usually rely on one of three types of signals: the P300 and other components of the event-related potential (ERP), steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP), or event related desynchronization (ERD). Although P300 BCIs were introduced over twenty yea...

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) signals can be obtained by implanting deep intracranial electrodes. SEEG depth electrodes record brain activity from the shallow cortical layer and structures, which is not achievable through other recording techniques. Moreover, has advantage of a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Therefore, it provides potential way to establish highly efficient brain-compu...
