DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The precisely-regulated pattern of recruitment of DNA binding transcription factors and associated coactivators and corepressors underlies the critical events that regulate neurodevelopment and disease. We propose to validate 3 distinct technologies that will permit genome-wide promoter location analysis for these regulatory factors-ChlP-on-chip, ChlP-DASL-chip, and ChlP-RDA-for applications to test specific hypotheses in neurodevelopment and disease. Genome-wide promoter assays will be designed, constructed and validated and we will test these technologies by determining the pattern of cofactor binding in the genome. New siRNA approaches to profiling will be applied to validate occupied promoters as functional targets. We will focus on a method that provides the optimal sensitivity and applicability to gene tiling, and will generate a genome-wide murine promoter array and will tile a series of genomic intervals that will permit investigation of specific genomic loci to uncover epigenetic strategies used in signaldependent changes in gene activation/repression programs development. These include study of the roles of CaMKII delta and SMRT in early programs of neurodevelopment. This approach will permit testing of several hypotheses and will be used to identify the promoter-specific usage of key corepressors and coactivators and location of epigenetic marks. We believe that with validation of these approaches, technologies developed here will be of widespread utility in neuroscience, particularly in studies of development and neurodegenerative disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：DNA结合转录因子和相关辅激活因子和辅抑制因子的募集的精确调节模式是调节神经发育和疾病的关键事件的基础。我们建议验证3种不同的技术，这将允许全基因组启动子位置分析这些调控因子ChIP芯片，ChIP-DASL芯片，和ChIP-RDA-应用程序来测试特定的假设，在神经发育和疾病。全基因组启动子检测将被设计，构建和验证，我们将通过确定基因组中辅因子结合的模式来测试这些技术。新的siRNA分析方法将被应用于验证被占用的启动子作为功能靶标。我们将专注于一种方法，提供了最佳的灵敏度和适用性的基因平铺，并将产生一个全基因组的小鼠启动子阵列，并将平铺一系列的基因组间隔，这将允许特定的基因组位点的调查，以揭示在信号依赖的变化中使用的表观遗传策略基因激活/抑制程序的发展。这些研究包括CaMKII δ和SMRT在神经发育早期程序中的作用。这种方法将允许测试几个假设，并将用于确定启动子的具体用途的关键辅阻遏物和辅激活因子和表观遗传标记的位置。我们相信，随着这些方法的验证，这里开发的技术将在神经科学中具有广泛的实用性，特别是在发育和神经退行性疾病的研究中。
