Research Abstract |
Olig2 is basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor essential for motoneuron and oligodendrocyte development. In order to investigate Olig transcription complex, which regulates differentiation from neural stem cell to specific subtype of neuron and glial cells, we screened Olig2-binding factors. We identified two factors, which are named Olig Binding Protein1 (OBP1), Olig Binding Protein2 (OBP2). Furthermore, we identified Olig2 as a phospho-protein and its phosphorylation sites. We revealed transcriptional regulation of Olig2 transcription factor.
