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) | ||||
Ptchd4 | Patched domain-containing protein 4; Could act as a repressor of canonical hedgehog signaling by antagonizing the effects of SMO, as suggested by down-regulation of hedgehog target genes, including GLI1, PTCH1, and PTCH2 in PTCHD4- expressing cells; Belongs to the patched family. (901 aa) |
