BACKGROUND The P300 components of auditory event related potentials (ERPs) are objective measures related to information and cognitive processing. OBJECTIVES To assess P300 ERPs in female patients with fibromyalgia (FM) in comparison with healthy age matched controls. To investigate the relationship between P300 potentials and pain threshold levels of patients, and subsequent effect of sertra...

Neurodegenerative diseases are associated with failed proteostasis and accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates that compromise neuronal function survival. In Parkinson’s disease, a major pathological finding is Lewy bodies neurites mainly composed phosphorylated aggregated α-synuclein fragments organelle membranes. Here, we analyzed series selective inhibitors acting on multidomain protein...

p300/CBP is a transcriptional adaptor that integrates signals from many sequence-specific activators via direct interactions. Various cellular and viral factors target p300/CBP to modulate transcription and/or cell cycle progression. One such factor, the cellular p300/CBP associated factor (PCAF), possesses intrinsic histone acetyltransferase activity. Here, we demonstrate that p300/CBP is not ...

Negative mood often triggers binge eating in bulimia nervosa (BN). We investigated motivational salience as a possible underlying mechanism using event-related potentials (ERPs) indicators of motivated attention allocation (P300) and sustained processing (LPP). collected ERPs (P300: 350–400 ms; LPP: 600–1000 ms) from 21 women with full-syndrome or partially remitted BN healthy (HC), matched for...

BACKGROUND Acetyltransferase p300 is essential for cardiac development and is thought to be involved in cardiac myocyte growth through MEF2- and GATA4-dependent transcription. However, the importance of p300 in the modulation of cardiac growth in vivo is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Pressure overload induced by transverse aortic coarctation, postnatal physiological growth, and human heart fai...

Acetylation is increasingly recognized as one of the major post-translational mechanisms for the regulation of multiple cellular functions in mammalian cells. Acetyltransferase p300, which acetylates histone and non-histone proteins, has been intensively studied in its role in cell growth and metabolism. However, the mechanism underlying the activation of p300 in cells remains largely unknown. ...

MAML1 is a transcriptional coregulator originally identified as a Notch coactivator. MAML1 is also reported to interact with other coregulator proteins, such as CDK8 and p300, to modulate the activity of Notch. We, and others, previously showed that MAML1 recruits p300 to Notch-regulated genes through direct interactions with the DNA-CSL-Notch complex and p300. MAML1 interacts with the C/H3 dom...

P300 component of the event related potential (ERP) provides one neurophysiological index of cognitive dysfunction in depression. Forty subjects fulfilling DSM-III criteria for depression were compared to 40 age and sex matched normal controls. The P300 was recorded using the auditory odd-ball paradigm. Depressives had a significantly prolonged P300 latency and reduced P300 amplitude as compare...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable paralyzed patients to communicate; however, up to date, no creative expression was possible. The current study investigated the accuracy and user-friendliness of P300-Brain Painting, a new BCI application developed to paint pictures using brain activity only. Two different versions of the P300-Brain Painting application were tested: A colored matrix teste...
