摘要
Neuronal cell-specific BC1 RNA is a unique RNA polymerase III (Pol 111) transcript. The transcription is controlled by an activator E2 site and by BCRE, a repressor element, in response to neuronal activity. BC1 RNA is localized to dendritic domains as ribonucleoprotein particles, and it has been suggested to play a functional role in translational regulation of dendritic mRNAs. In the present study, using a luciferase assay in NG108-15 cells, we found that the positive and negative regulators for BC1 RNA transcription can also function in the Pol II transcription system. Our results suggest that the neuronal activity-dependent expression of BC1 RNA by Pol III and a subset of neuronal mRNAs by Pol II may be simultaneously controlled by the E2 site and BCRE, as well as their binding proteins.
