HEXIM1/P-TEFb complex controls RNA polymerase II pause release and immediate early gene induction following neuronal depolarization
2024-09-28
Abstract excerpt
Cognitive processes require de novo gene transcription in neurons. Memory requires the rapid and robust transcription of a class of genes called immediate early genes (IEGs). IEG transcription is facilitated by the formation of a poised basal state, in which RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) initiates transcription, but remains paused downstream of the promoter. Upon neuronal depolarization, the paused RNAP2 is released...
