Studies describing the structures of the M1, M2 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) genes and the genetic elements that control their expression are reviewed. In particular, we focus on the role of the neuron-restrictive silencer element/restriction element-1 (NRSE/RE-1) in the regulation of the M4 mAChR gene. The NRSE/RE-1 was first identified as a genetic control element that prevents the expression of the SCG-10 and type II sodium channel (NaII) genes in non-neuronal cells in culture. The NRSE/RE-1 inhibits gene expression by binding the repressor/silencer protein NRSF/REST, which is present in many non-neuronal cell lines and tissues. Our studies show that although the expression of the M4 mAChR gene is inhibited by NRSF/REST, this inhibition is not always complete. Rather, the efficiency of silencing by NRSF/REST is different in different cells. A plausible explanation for this differential silencing is that the NRSF/RE-1 interacts with distinct sets of promoter binding proteins in different types of cells. We hypothesize that modulation of NRSF/REST silencing activity by these proteins contributes to the cell-specific pattern of expression of the M4 mAChR in neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Recent studies that suggest a more complex role for the NRSE/RE-1 in regulating gene expression are also discussed. 相似文献

The polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB, or hnRNP I) contains four RNA-binding domains of the ribonucleoprotein fold type (RRMs 1, 2, 3, and 4), and mediates the negative regulation of alternative splicing through sequence-specific binding to intronic splicing repressor elements. To assess the roles of individual RRM domains in splicing repression, a neural-specific splicing extract was used to screen for loss-of-function mutations that fail to switch splicing from the neural to nonneural pathway. These results show that three RRMs are sufficient for wild-type RNA binding and splicing repression activity, provided that RRM4 is intact. Surprisingly, the deletion of RRM4, or as few as 12 RRM4 residues, effectively uncouples these functions. Such an uncoupling phenotype is unique to RRM4, and suggests a possible regulatory role for this domain either in mediating specific RNA contacts, and/or contacts with putative splicing corepressors. Evidence of a role for RRM4 in anchoring PTB binding adjacent to the branch site is shown by mobility shift and RNA footprinting assays. 相似文献
