Mecp2 | Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2; 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 SIN3. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)- containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). (501 aa) | ||||
Slc35a1 | CMP-sialic acid transporter; Transports CMP-sialic acid from the cytosol into Golgi vesicles where glycosyltransferases function. Efficient CMP-sialic acid uptake depends on the presence of free CMP inside the vesicles, suggesting the proteins functions as an antiporter. Binds both CMP- sialic acid and free CMP, but has higher affinity for free CMP ; Belongs to the nucleotide-sugar transporter family. SLC35A subfamily. (336 aa) |
