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) | ||||
Secisbp2l | Selenocysteine insertion sequence-binding protein 2-like; Binds SECIS (Sec insertion sequence) elements present on selenocysteine (Sec) protein mRNAs, but does not promote Sec incorporation into selenoproteins. (1089 aa) |
