Methyl-CpG-binding domain as a protein interaction partner in promoter regulation and neurodevelopment through evolutionary expanded entanglement

Le résumé fourni par la source

The evolution of the methyl-binding domain (MBD) suggests a shared function in gene regulation, from plants to humans, with the conservation of non-DNA-interacting amino acids critical for protein-protein interactions. The MBD-regulated NuRD complex localizes to promoters of housekeeping genes with hypomethylated CpG islands. Expression profiles suggest a shared role for NuRD complex components in neurodevelopment, where the MBD3 and GATAD2B subcomplex of NuRD may be underexplored due to its non-DNA-binding biology.
