Neuronal chromatin remodeling factors in the mammalian nervous system
Chromatin remodeling factors play important roles in accessibility formation of regulatory DNA. The mechanism by which chromatin remodeling factors regulate regulatory DNA regions that activate expression of cell type-specific genes during the nervous system development remains unknown. Chromatin remodeling complexes have neuron-specific factors, which are often mutated in patients with neurological disease. Here we demonstrate that neuronal chromatin remodeling factors activate neuronal gene expression during the nervous system development.
