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) | ||||
Mtmr9 | Myotubularin-related protein 9; Acts as an adapter for myotubularin-related phosphatases. Increases lipid phosphatase MTMR6 catalytic activity, specifically towards phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, and MTMR6 binding affinity for phosphorylated phosphatidylinositols (By similarity). Positively regulates lipid phosphatase MTMR7 catalytic activity. The formation of the MTMR6-MTMR9 complex, stabilizes both MTMR6 and MTMR9 protein levels (By similarity). Plays a role in the late stages of macropinocytosis possibly by regulating MTMR6-mediated dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol [...] (545 aa) |
