Evidence suggests a role for monoubiquitination of histone H2B, a regulator of increased gene transcription, in memory formation. However, whether monoubiquitination of histone H2A (H2Aubi), a transcriptional repressor, is involved in memory formation has not been explored. We found global and gene-specific decreases in H2Aubi in the amygdala following fear conditioning. H2Aubi decreased at , an inhibitor of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling, which occurred concurrently with increases in PTEN expression. CRISPR-dCas9 mediated upregulation of the H2Aubi ligase, , in the amygdala enhanced contextual memory. These results suggest that decreases in transcriptionally repressive H2Aubi in the amygdala functions to constrain fear memory strength.
有证据表明，组蛋白H2B的单泛素化（一种基因转录增加的调节因子）在记忆形成中发挥作用。然而，作为转录抑制因子的组蛋白H2A的单泛素化（H2Aubi）是否参与记忆形成尚未得到研究。我们发现，恐惧条件反射后杏仁核中H2Aubi的整体水平和基因特异性水平均下降。在PI3K-AKT-mTOR信号通路的抑制剂作用下，H2Aubi减少，同时PTEN表达增加。CRISPR-dCas9介导的杏仁核中H2Aubi连接酶的上调增强了情境记忆。这些结果表明，杏仁核中转录抑制性H2Aubi的减少起到限制恐惧记忆强度的作用。
