Mbd3 | Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3; Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Does not bind DNA by itself. Binds to DNA with a preference for sites containing methylated CpG dinucleotides (in vitro). Binds to a lesser degree DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (By similarity). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. (285 aa) | ||||
Zic5 | Zinc finger protein ZIC 5; Essential for neural crest development, converting cells from an epidermal fate to a neural crest cell fate. Binds to DNA. Belongs to the GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. (622 aa) |
