IEGs transduce signals from the external environment to regulate the transcription of other “target genes” that code for the formation of proteins that carry out the homeostatic and adaptive functions of the cell.
immediate early genes are used as markers or indicators of changes in neuronal activity in psychopathological conditions such as schizophrenia.
Research in the areas of behavioral state related gene expression, psychoimmunology, and state dependent memory, learning and behavior is integrated with the chronobiology of ultradian rhythms as a new window into the psychobiology of trauma and stress as well as brain growth and healing.

 Gene Regulatory Networks
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are the on-off switches and rheostats of a cell operating at the gene level.
This was shown by microarray gene chip analyses in yeast cells, and each gene was found to possess a similar cis-regulatory DNA sequence that mediates binding of a particular transcription factor.
Some genes are regulated by a single input mechanism, but, especially in higher organisms, a gene often responds to information from multiple signals via the activity of diverse transcription factors.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Expression profiling of serum inducible genes identifies a subset of SRF target genes that ...
In the case of the ubiquitously expressed immediate early genes, the two sets of SRF binding proteins that regulate its activity are the TCF family of proteins that include Elk1, SAP1 and SAP2 and the myocardin-related MKL family of proteins that include MKL1 and MKL2 (also known as MAL, MRTF-A and -B and BSAC).
Although the immediate early genes are so named because of their rapid inducibility after growth factor treatment, different kinetics of expression have been observed among the immediate early genes.
This still leaves the possibility that induction of many of the immediate early genes is independent of SRF such as we have found for the c-jun gene [46].

 Medical Immunology | Abstract | DNA array analysis of interleukin-2-regulated immediate/early genes
To determine the most stringent parameters to score a gene as a bona fide IL-2 target, the expression of 19 known IL-2-regulated genes was examined first.
Of the 72 genes identified in PBMCs, 20 were detected as immediate/early IL-2-regulated genes in purified T cells.
For a successful reductionist approach to the analysis of gene expression in lymphocyte activation, it is necessary to examine purified cell populations and immediate/early gene expression regulated by each ligand/receptor pair involved.

 Welcome to the Stewart Laboratory
Because of the very small size of gp50 (23 amino acids), the overlap between genes 50 and 51, and the synergistic effect of mutations in genes 50 and 51, we suppose that gp50 acts jointly with gp51 (6,4).
When all three proteins are present together the effect on immediate-early genes is increased, the effect on delayed-early and middle genes is decreased, and the effect on some delayed-early genes is reversed.
Thus, our present belief is that the binding of gp44/50/51 to RNAP is primarily for the purpose of regulating phage gene expression, and that the shutoff of host RNA synthesis, that occurs when gp44 or gp50/51 is expressed in uninfected cells, is an incidental consequence of their binding to RNAP.

 PDGF signaling specificity is mediated through multiple immediate early genes - Nature Genetics
Growth factor signaling leads to the induction or repression of immediate early genes, but how these genes act collectively as effectors of downstream processes remains unresolved.
We have used gene trap–coupled microarray analysis to identify and mutate multiple platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) intermediate early genes in mice.
Mutations in these genes lead to a high frequency of phenotypes that affect the same cell types and processes as those controlled by the PDGF pathway.

After learning that immediate early genes could be expressed in LHRH neurons after stimulation, Dr. Hoffman's laboratory then determined that the immediate early genes, c-fos, and c-jun are expressed in LHRH neurons during an LH surge.
The appearance of immediate early gene proteins accurately reflects LHRH stimulated activity.
Recently attention has shifted from where immediate early gene proteins are expressed to what changes in gene expression within LHRH neurons (and their afferents) are triggered by or accompany immediate early gene expression, with a focus on the dramatic changes in galanin expression in LHRH neurons that accompanies the LH surge.

These early genes then combine to draft an army of genes to mobilize numerous important gene products that alter the function of a neuron targeted by a neurotransmitter.
These genes function as rapid responders to the neurotransmitter's input, like the first troops sent into combat once war has been declared.
Which individual soldier genes are so drafted to active gene duty depends on a number of factors: which neurotransmitter is sending the message, how frequently it is sending the message, and whether it is working in concert with or opposition to other neurotransmitters talking to other parts of the same neuron at the same time.

This phase of the developmental cycle is characterized by expression of immediate-early and early genes and involves cellular processes associated with vacuole modification and the initiation of bacterial metabolism (as indicated in the boxed region).
The majority of genes are expressed during this highly active stage of the cycle.
