The ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzyme CHD7 regulates pro-neural gene expression and neurogenesis in the inner ear

Abstract excerpt

Inner ear neurogenesis is positively regulated by the pro-neural bHLH transcription factors Ngn1 and NeuroD, but the factors that act upstream of this regulation are not well understood. Recent evidence in mouse and Drosophila suggests that neural development depends on proper chromatin remodeling, both for maintenance of neural stem cells and for proper neuronal differentiation. Here, we show that CHD7, an...
