Biological Activity

Description

The MeCP2 protein is a chromosome binder that specifically binds to methylated DNA independent of flanking sequences. MeCP2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived MeCP2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

The MeCP2 protein functions as a chromosomal entity with a distinctive ability to bind specifically to methylated DNA, targeting individual methyl-CpG pairs independently of flanking DNA sequences. Operating as a mediator of transcriptional repression, MeCP2 engages in interactions with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Moreover, it demonstrates dual binding capabilities, associating with both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, exhibiting a notable preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). The versatility of MeCP2 is further emphasized by its interactions with FNBP3, CDKL5, ATRX, NCOR2, TBL1XR1, and TBL1X, each interaction contributing to various cellular processes, including the recruitment of co-repressor complexes and the orchestration of heterochromatin organization. This multifaceted functionality underscores the pivotal role of MeCP2 in epigenetic regulation and the modulation of gene expression.
