Upstream sequences of the myogenin gene convey responsiveness to skeletal muscle denervation in transgenic mice (1993)

Buonanno, Andres, Edmondson, Diane G., Hayes, William P.

Myogenin, as well as other MyoD-related skeletal muscle-specific transcription factors, regulate a large number of skeletal muscle genes during myogenic differentiation. During later development,...

The neuregulin receptor ErbB-4 interacts with PDZ-containing proteins at neuronal synapses

Garcia, Rolando A. G., Vasudevan, Kuzhalini, Buonanno, Andres

Neuregulins regulate the expression of ligand- and voltage-gated channels in neurons and skeletal muscle by the activation of their cognate tyrosine kinase receptors, ErbB 1–4. The subcellular...

Fiber-Type-Specific Transcription of the Troponin I Slow Gene Is Regulated by Multiple Elements

Calvo, Soledad, Venepally, Pratap, Cheng, Jun, Buonanno, Andres

The regulatory elements that restrict transcription of genes encoding contractile proteins specifically to either slow- or fast-twitch skeletal muscles are unknown. As an initial step towards...

Molecular Dissection of DNA Sequences and Factors Involved in Slow Muscle-Specific Transcription

Calvo, Soledad, Vullhorst, Detlef, Venepally, Pratap, Cheng, Jun, Karavanova, Irina, Buonanno, Andres

Transcription is a major regulatory mechanism for the generation of slow- and fast-twitch myofibers. We previously identified an upstream region of the slow TnI gene (slow upstream regulatory element...

Imaging transcription in vivo: distinct regulatory effects of fast and slow activity patterns on promoter elements from vertebrate troponin I isoform genes

Rana, Zaheer A, Gundersen, Kristian, Buonanno, Andres, Vullhorst, Detlef

Firing patterns typical of slow motor units activate genes for slow isoforms of contractile proteins, but it remains unclear if there is a distinct pathway for fast isoforms or if their expression...

PPARδ expression is influenced by muscle activity and induces slow muscle properties in adult rat muscles after somatic gene transfer

Lunde, Ida G, Ekmark, Merete, Rana, Zaheer A, Buonanno, Andres, Gundersen, Kristian

The effects of exercise on skeletal muscle are mediated by a coupling between muscle electrical activity and gene expression. Several activity correlates, such as intracellular Ca2+, hypoxia and...

Activity-dependent repression of muscle genes by NFAT

Rana, Zaheer A., Gundersen, Kristian, Buonanno, Andres

Adult skeletal muscles retain an adaptive capacity to switch between slow- and fast-twitch properties that largely depend on motoneuron activity. The NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) family...

Neuregulin-1 regulates LTP at CA1 hippocampal synapses through activation of dopamine D4 receptors

Kwon, Oh Bin, Paredes, Daniel, Gonzalez, Carmen M., Neddens, Jörg, Hernandez, Luis, Vullhorst, Detlef, ...

Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) is genetically linked with schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental cognitive disorder characterized by imbalances in glutamatergic and dopaminergic function. NRG-1 regulates numerous...

Neuregulin links dopaminergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission to control hippocampal synaptic plasticity

Neddens, Jörg, Vullhorst, Detlef, Paredes, Daniel, Buonanno, Andres

Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) and its receptor ErbB4 are genetically associated with schizophrenia, a complex developmental disorder of high heritability but unknown etiology that has been proposed to result...
