Multimodal epigenetic changes and altered NEUROD1 chromatin binding in the mouse hippocampus underlie FOXG1 syndrome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The data presented in this study enlighten for the first time in a comprehensive manner diverse and multi-modal functions of FOXG1 at the chromatin level in mature neurons. Despite FOXG1 being recognized as a key transcription factor for telencephalic development and neuronal function, insights into the mechanism underlying transcriptional regulation are sparse. We here show that (i) FOXG1 acts both as repressor and activator, (ii) localizes predominantly to enhancer regions, (iii) alters the epigenetic landscape, (iv) affects directly HDAC functions, and (v) acts in concert with NEUROD1 to instruct transcriptional programs necessary for axono- and synaptogenesis.
