Supplemental Figure 1: Model of Deaf-1-mediated transcriptional regulation of the 5-HT1A promoter
Deaf-1 binds to a minimal consensus TTCG Deaf-1 site to repress 5-HT1A receptor gene transcription in pre-synaptic raphe cells, while it enhances transcription in post-synaptic 5-HT1A-expressing cells. Hes5 acts as a transcriptional repressor in a cell-independent manner. Cell-specific transcriptional repression and enhancement of the 5-HT1A promoter are intrinsic activities of Deaf-1 that require histone deacetylase (HDAC) activation and are abolished when the C(-1019)G polymorphism is present.
