An amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain (AICD)-containing complex directly binds to the promoters of CaMKIIα and GluR-2 genes.
(A) Input-ChIP-DNA (1), negative control rat IgG (2) and AICD-ChIP-DNA (3) were amplified via PCR, using primer pairs for the promoter regions of five genes associated with learning and memory, and the products were resolved on 1.5% agarose gels followed by ethidium bromide staining.
(B) The two fragments, amplified from AICD-ChIP-DNA using primers against the promoter regions of the CaMKIIα and GluR-2 genes, were sequenced and are shown as partial sequences of the original color charts.
BDNF-PI: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor promoter I; CREB: cAMP-response element binding protein; PKMζ: protein kinase M zeta; CaMKIIα: alpha-calcium-calmodulin kinase II; GluR-2: glutamate receptor-2; ChIP: chromain immunoprecipitation.
