Regulation of protocadherin gene expression by multiple neuron-restrictive silencer elements scattered in the gene cluster
The clustered protocadherins are a subfamily of neuronal cell adhesion molecules that play an important role in development of the nervous systems in vertebrates. The clustered protocadherin genes exhibit complex expression patterns in the central nervous system. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanism underlying neuronal expression of protocadherin genes using the protocadh...
متن کاملNeuron-restrictive silencer factor regulates the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit gene in basal and ethanol-induced gene expression in fetal cortical neurons.
Neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF) is a transcriptional repressor of multiple neuronal genes. This study addressed the role of NRSF in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor NR2B promoter activity and the molecular mechanisms of ethanol-induced NR2B up-regulation in fetal cortical neurons. The 5'-flanking region of the NR2B gene contains five NRSE-like elements. Functional analysis of the ...
متن کاملDifferential regulation by multiple promoters of the gene encoding the neuron-restrictive silencer factor.
NRSF/REST is a protein that silences transcription of a number of genes that contain a DNA element called the neuron-restrictive silencer element (NRSE). During embryogenesis, REST is expressed ubiquitously in nonneural cells, but is down-regulated during differentiation of neural progenitors into neurons. REST is also up-regulated in adult neurons by activity, suggesting a possible role for th...
متن کاملRE-1 silencer of transcription/neural restrictive silencer factor modulates ectodermal patterning during Xenopus development.
RE-1 silencer of transcription/neural restrictive silencer factor (REST/NRSF), a transcriptional repressor, binds to the RE-1 element present in many vertebrate genes. In vitro studies indicate that REST/NRSF plays important roles in several stages of neural development. However, a full understanding of its physiological function requires in vivo approaches. We find that impairment of REST/NRSF...
متن کاملNeuron-restrictive silencer factor functions to suppress Sp1-mediated transactivation of human secretin receptor gene.
In the present study, a functional neuron restrictive silencer element (NRSE) was initially identified in the 5' flanking region (-83 to -67, relative to ATG) of human secretin receptor (hSCTR) gene by promoter assays coupled with scanning mutation analyses. The interaction of neuron restrictive silencer factor (NRSF) with this motif was later indicated via gel mobility shift and ChIP assays. T...
