Additional Info
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on Ser-421 by CaMK2 in brain upon synaptic activity, which attenuates its repressor activity and seems to regulate dendritic growth and spine maturation. Does not seem to be phosphorylated on Ser-421 in other tissues. |
| Function | 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). |
