Abstract excerpt
Neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF, also termed REST) has been proposed to restrict expression of a set of genes to neurons by blocking their transcription in nonneuronal cells. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit type I (NR1) gene contains a consensus sequence for the NRSF/REST binding site (NRSE/RE1). In this study, we evaluated the contribution of NRSF/REST to neuronal specificity of the NR1...
