Widespread transcription at neuronal activity-regulated enhancers
- Tae-kyung Kim, M. Hemberg, +13 authors M. Greenberg
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 14 April 2010
We used genome-wide sequencing methods to study stimulus-dependent enhancer function in mouse cortical neurons. We identified ∼12,000 neuronal activity-regulated enhancers that are bound by the… Expand
Arc, a growth factor and activity-regulated gene, encodes a novel cytoskeleton-associated protein that is enriched in neuronal dendrites
- G. Lyford, K. Yamagata, +7 authors P. Worley
- Biology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 1 February 1995
Neuronal activity is an essential stimulus for induction of plasticity and normal development of the CNS. We have used differential cloning techniques to identify a novel immediate-early gene (IEG)… Expand
Homer: a protein that selectively binds metabotropic glutamate receptors
- P. Brakeman, A. Lanahan, +4 authors P. Worley
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 March 1997
Spatial localization and clustering of membrane proteins is critical to neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. Recent studies have identified a family of proteins, the PDZ proteins, that… Expand
Inhibition of Activity-Dependent Arc Protein Expression in the Rat Hippocampus Impairs the Maintenance of Long-Term Potentiation and the Consolidation of Long-Term Memory
- J. Guzowski, G. Lyford, +4 authors C. A. Barnes
- Medicine, Biology
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 1 June 2000
It is widely believed that the brain processes information and stores memories by modifying and stabilizing synaptic connections between neurons. In experimental models of synaptic plasticity, such… Expand
Shank, a Novel Family of Postsynaptic Density Proteins that Binds to the NMDA Receptor/PSD-95/GKAP Complex and Cortactin
- S. Naisbitt, E. Kim, +6 authors M. Sheng
- Medicine, Biology
- Neuron
- 1 July 1999
NMDA receptors are linked to intracellular cytoskeletal and signaling molecules via the PSD-95 protein complex. We report a novel family of postsynaptic density (PSD) proteins, termed Shank, that… Expand
Coupling of mGluR/Homer and PSD-95 Complexes by the Shank Family of Postsynaptic Density Proteins
Shank is a recently described family of postsynaptic proteins that function as part of the NMDA receptor-associated PSD-95 complex (Naisbitt et al., 1999 [this issue of Neuron]). Here, we report that… Expand
Environment-specific expression of the immediate-early gene Arc in hippocampal neuronal ensembles
- J. Guzowski, B. McNaughton, C. A. Barnes, P. Worley
- Medicine, Biology
- Nature Neuroscience
- 1 December 1999
We used fluorescent in-situ hybridization and confocal microscopy to monitor the subcellular distribution of the immediate-early gene Arc. Arc RNA appeared in discrete intranuclear foci within… Expand
GRIP: a synaptic PDZ domain-containing protein that interacts with AMPA receptors
- H. Dong, R. O'brien, E. Fung, A. Lanahan, P. Worley, R. Huganir
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 March 1997
AMPA glutamate receptors mediate the majority of rapid excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system1,2 and play a role in the synaptic plasticity underlying learning and memory3,4.… Expand
Homer Binds a Novel Proline-Rich Motif and Links Group 1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors with IP3 Receptors
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) activate PI turnover and thereby trigger intracellular calcium release. Previously, we demonstrated that mGluRs form natural complexes with members… Expand
Elongation Factor 2 and Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein Control the Dynamic Translation of Arc/Arg3.1 Essential for mGluR-LTD
- Sungjin Park, J. M. Park, +10 authors P. Worley
- Medicine, Biology
- Neuron
- 10 July 2008
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) induce long-term depression (LTD) that requires protein synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that Arc/Arg3.1 is translationally induced within 5 min of… Expand
