Protein Name:
Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 1
|
UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9Z2E2 (Q9Z2E2)
Gene Name:
Mbd1
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Transcriptional repressor that binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binding is abolished by the presence of 7-mG that is produced by DNA damage by methylmethanesulfonate (MMS). Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing by recruiting ATF7IP, which in turn recruits factors such as the histone methyltransferase SETDB1. Probably forms a complex with SETDB1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone 'Lys-9' trimethylation. Isoform 1 can also repress transcription from unmethylated promoters
