Depolarization Strongly Induces Human Cytomegalovirus Major Immediate-Early Promoter/Enhancer Activity in Neurons
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Activity-dependent changes in gene expression involving the transcription factor cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) occur in learning and memory, pain, and drug addiction. This mechanism may also be important for cytomegaloviral infections of the brain. The human cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promoter/enhancer (hCMV promoter), rate-limiting for productive cytomegalovirus infection, contains five...
