This chapter provides an overview of the fundamental molecular processes by which information is encoded in the genome and how this information is expressed within an environmental context. We describe what genes are, how they function, and how their expression into RNA and protein is regulated by signals from outside the cell. Particular attention is given to a series of stimulus-regulated transcription factors, which play important roles in transducing information from the cell surface to the nucleus. Work in this area has shown that the control of gene expression by extracellular signals is a critical arena for gene–environment interactions that are highly relevant to psychiatry.

Apical Junctional Complex

The AJC (apical junctional complex) of vertebrate epithelial cells orchestrates cell–cell adhesion and tissue barrier function. In addition, it plays a pivotal role in signalling. Several protein components of the AJC, e.g. the cytoplasmic proteins β-catenin, p120-catenin and ZO (Zonula Occludens)-2, can shuttle to the nucleus, where they interact with transcription factors to regulate gene expression and cell proliferation. Other junctional proteins, e.g. angiomotin, α-catenin and cingulin, are believed to act by sequestering either transcription factors, such as YAP (Yes-associated protein), or regulators of small GTPases, such as GEF (guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor)-H1, at junctions. The signalling activities of AJC proteins are triggered by different extracellular and intracellular cues, including cell density, and physiological or pathological activation of developmentally regulated pathways, such as the Wnt pathway. The interplay between junctional protein complexes, the actin cytoskeleton and signalling pathways is of crucial importance in the regulation of gene expression and cell proliferation.

Phd Domain

Chromatin remodelling and transcription factors play important roles in lineage commitment and development through control of gene expression. Activation of selected lineage-specific genes and repression of alternative lineage-affiliated genes result in tightly regulated cell differentiation transcriptional programmes. However, the complex functional and physical interplay between transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes remains elusive. Recent evidence has implicated histone demethylases in normal haematopoietic differentiation as well as in malignant haematopoiesis. Here, we report an interaction between H3K4 demethylase JARID1A and the haematopoietic-specific master transcription proteins SCL and GATA1 in red blood cells. Specifically, we observe a direct physical contact between GATA1 and the second PHD domain of JARID1A. This interaction has potential implications for normal and malignant haematopoiesis.

Base Excision

One of the most fundamental questions in the control of gene expression in mammals is how the patterns of epigenetic modifications of DNA are generated, recognized, and erased. This includes covalent cytosine methylation of DNA and its associated oxidation states. An array of AdoMet-dependent methyltransferases, Fe(II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, base excision glycosylases, and sequence-specific transcription factors is responsible for changing, maintaining, and interpreting the modification status of specific regions of chromatin. This review focuses on recent developments in characterizing the functional and structural links between the modification status of two DNA bases 5-methylcytosine and thymine (5-methyluracil).

Control Of Gene Expression

The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) proteins are a family of transcription factors whose activation is controlled by calcineurin, a Ca2+-dependent phosphatase. Originally identified in T cells as inducers of cytokine gene expression, NFAT proteins play varied roles in cells outside of the immune system. This review addresses the recent data implicating NFAT in the control of gene expression influencing the development and adaptation of numerous mammalian cell types.
