Description
Function: Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binds hemimethylated DNA as well. Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Functions as a scaffold protein, targeting GATAD2A and GATAD2B to chromatin to promote repression. May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters.
Subunit Structure: Heterodimer with MBD3. Component of the MeCP1 complex that contains HDAC1 and HDAC2. Binds DNMT1, MIZF, GPN1, SIN3A, GATAD2A/p66-alpha and GATAD2B/p66-beta. Interacts with DHX9
