Thyroid Hormone-Responsive Genes in Developing Cerebellum Include
a Novel Synaptotagmin and a hairless Homolog

Proper development of the mammalian CNS requires sufficient thyroid
hormone; thyroid hormone deficiency during a brief perinatal period
produces severe neurological defects in humans and experimental animals. Thyroid hormone exerts its effects through nuclear receptors, which modulate the transcription of downstream genes in response to
hormone binding. Surprisingly, few genes that are regulated by thyroid
hormone receptors in the CNS have been described. Here, I report the
isolation and characterization of genes that are expressed in response
to thyroid hormone in developing rat brain. One such gene
(Srg1) encodes a novel protein related to synaptotagmin, a protein involved in regulating neurotransmitter release; another (hr) encodes a putative zinc finger protein related to
the product of a recently identified mouse gene,
hairless. Both Srg1 and hr are induced rapidly (<4 hr), suggesting that they are regulated directly by thyroid hormone. The temporal and spatial expression of
both Srg1 and hr is characteristic of
genes important to nervous system development. Srg1 and
hr are likely part of a cascade of gene activation
induced by thyroid hormone that is critical for CNS organization and
development.
