Overview

Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC).

Molecular Function

Chromatin binding, DNA binding, mRNA binding, double-stranded methylated DNA binding, poly(A) RNA binding, siRNA binding

Subcellular Location

Nucleus (Note: Colocalized with methyl-CpG in the genome)

Structure

Interacts with FNBP3. Interacts with CDKL5 (PubMed:15917271). Interacts with ATRX; MECP2 recruits ATRX to pericentric heterochromatin in neuronal cells. Interacts with NCOR2.

Expression

Present in all adult somatic tissues tested.
