  2. 1. Transcription Factor AP-2 in Relation to Personality and Antidepressant Drugs

    Author : Cecilia Berggård; Lars Oreland; Göran Engberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; Transcription factors; serotonin; AP-2; antidepressants; CNS; personality; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning;

    Abstract : The CNS monoaminergic systems are considered as the head engine regulating neuropsychiatric functions and personality. Transcription factor AP-2 is known to be essential for the development of the brainstem including the monoaminergic nuclei, and has the ability to regulate many genes in the monoaminergic systems.

  4. 2. Transcription Factor AP-2 in Relation to Serotonergic Functions in the Central Nervous System

    Author : Mattias Damberg; Elias Eriksson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; CNS; serotonin; transcription factors; AP-2; personality; antidepressants; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning; medicinsk farmakologi; Medical Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Eukaryotic gene transcription plays a regulatory role in mammalian developmental processes. It has been shown that transcriptional control is an important mechanism for specification of neurotransmitter phenotypes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptional regulation of the Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 gene in B cells

    Author : Weiwen Yang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epstein-Barr virus; B-cell; transformation; LMP1; LRS; EBNA2; transcription; transactivation; repression; histone deacytylation;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human B-lymphotrobic herpesvirus that latently infects over 90 percent of the world´s population. EBV infection is usually benign in healthy people. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transcriptional regulation of human nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes

    Author : Ahmed Zaid; Richard Scarpulla; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Biogenesis of mammalian mitochondria requires the participation of both nuclear and mitochondrial genes. This thesis presents studies that characterize the common features of several nuclear encoded mitochondrial promoter genes and proposes the identity of factors regulating the transcription and responsible for coordinated, constitutive expression of diverse mammalian oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes.

  7. 5. Regulation of the Epstein-Barr Virus Latent Membrane Protein 1 Expression

    Author : Pegah Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Gene regulation; LMP1; Epstein-Barr virus; Herpesvirus;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a probably the most effective and successful human virus, infecting more than 90% of the world?s adult population. As with the other members of the herpesvirus family, EBV establishes latent infection in its host and persists life-long. READ MORE
