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) | ||||
Larp4 | La-related protein 4; RNA binding protein that binds to the poly-A tract of mRNA molecules. Associates with the 40S ribosomal subunit and with polysomes. Plays a role in the regulation of mRNA translation. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. (719 aa) |
