CBP Histone Acetyltransferase Activity Is a Critical Component of Memory Consolidation

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The behavioral phenotype is due to an acute requirement for CBP HAT activity in the adult as it is rescued by both suppression of transgene expression or by administration of the histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A in adult animals.

Sustained hippocampal chromatin regulation in a mouse model of depression and antidepressant action

TL;DR: An important role for histone remodeling in the pathophysiology and treatment of depression is underscored and the therapeutic potential for hist one methylation and deacetylation inhibitors in depression is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic regulation in psychiatric disorders

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent evidence for the existence of sustained epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation in neurons that have been implicated in the regulation of complex behaviour, including abnormalities in several psychiatric disorders such as depression, drug addiction and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lasting epigenetic influence of early-life adversity on the BDNF gene.

TL;DR: An epigenetic molecular mechanism potentially underlying lifelong and transgenerational perpetuation of changes in gene expression and behavior incited by early abuse and neglect is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recovery of learning and memory is associated with chromatin remodelling

TL;DR: It is shown that environmental enrichment reinstated learning behaviour and re-established access to long-term memories after significant brain atrophy and neuronal loss had already occurred, and suggests that inhibition of histone deacetylases might be a suitable therapeutic avenue for neurodegenerative diseases associated with learning and memory impairment.

Place navigation impaired in rats with hippocampal lesions.

TL;DR: It is reported that, in addition to a spatial discrimination impairment, total hippocampal lesions also cause a profound and lasting placenavigational impairment that can be dissociated from correlated motor, motivational and reinforcement aspects of the procedure.

Epigenetic regulation of gene expression: how the genome integrates intrinsic and environmental signals

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of the mechanism and role of DNA methylation in biological processes are reviewed, showing that epigenetic mechanisms seem to allow an organism to respond to the environment through changes in gene expression.

A new one-trial test for neurobiological studies of memory in rats. 1: Behavioral data.

TL;DR: A new memory test in rats, based on the differential exploration of familiar and new objects, which is comparable to memory tests currently used in man and allows interspecies comparisons.

Differential Contribution of Amygdala and Hippocampus to Cued and Contextual Fear Conditioning

TL;DR: An associative roles for the amygdala and a sensory relay role for the hippocampus are suggested in fear conditioning, which is involved in the conditioning of fear responses to simple, modality-specific conditioned stimuli as well as to complex, polymodal stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Transcriptional Coactivators p300 and CBP Are Histone Acetyltransferases

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p300/CBP acetylates nucleosomes in concert with PCAF, a novel class of acetyltransferases in that it does not have the conserved motif found among various other acetyl transferases.
