| Research Abstract |
We have identified two different types of genes induced in a neuronal activity-dependent manner ; one is immediately expressed while the other expressed lately. We examined differences in chromatin modifications in two groups of genes and analyzed dynamic behavior of chromatin related proteins which are assumedly involved in activity-dependent transcription. We found that chromatin modifications, recruitment of RNA polymerase II and the negative elongation factor are different between the two groups. These results demonstrate molecular basis for temporal regulation of activity-dependent genes.
