Background Information

Methylation of mammalian DNA has long been recognized to play a major role in a number of cellular functions such as development and control of gene expression. It is generally associated with the repressive chromatin state. The complex series of events leading to this repressive state involve the coordinated regulation of DNA methyltransferases and two other groups of proteins called the Methyl-CpG binding proteins (MBD proteins) and the Kaiso family of proteins. The MBD family of proteins include MeCP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3 and MBD4. MeCP2 (methyl-CpG binding protein 2)can repress transcription by recruiting the Sin3 complex including histone deacetylases (HDACs). MeCP2 is distributed throughout the nucleus in human cells. Phosphorylation of MeCP2 at serine 80 may regulate the activity of neurons switching between resting and active states in neural circuits.
