Septamer element-binding proteins in neuronal and glial differentiation.
Differentiation of progenitors into neurons and glia is regulated by interactions between regulatory DNA elements of neuron- and glia-specific genes and transcription factors that are differentially expressed by progenitors at progressive stages of neural development. We have identified a novel DNA regulatory element (TTTGCAT = septamer) present on the enkephalin (ENK), neuronal cell adhesion m...
متن کاملNeuronal and glial cytoskeletons.
Long-awaited evidence for in vivo functions of the major neuronal microtubule associated proteins indicates that they are directly involved in neurite extension. Companion evidence reveals an intrinsic role for glial intermediate filaments in glial cell extension along neurites and for neurofilaments in establishing axonal caliber. New fluorescence and photoactivation experiments require a re-t...
متن کاملGATMD: γ-Aminobutyric Acid Transporter Mutagenesis Database
Since the cloning of the first γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter (GAT1; SLC6A1) from rat brain in 1990, more than 50 published studies have provided structure-function information on investigator-designed rat and mouse GAT1 mutants. To date, more than 200 of 599 GAT1 residues have been subjected to mutagenesis experiments by substitution with different amino acids, and the resulting transp...
متن کاملNeuronal and glial cell biology.
us&y a cellular neurobiologist struggles to link findings made in simple cellular systems to the problems of the neuron. It is therefore gratifying when the flow is reversed and discoveries in neurons are seminal to the understanding of cell biology in general. This has been especially true for the past year in the field of membrane traffic in the nerve terminal. As reviewed by Martin (pp 626-6...
متن کاملGlial (and Neuronal) Cells Missing
The Glial cells missing transcription factor is necessary and sufficient to induce glial-cell fates in the Drosophila embryonic nervous system. A study by Chotard et al. in this issue of Neuron reveals that this "master regulator" of glial cell fate specification is also required (gasp!) to generate neurons.
