Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome is a dominant neurological disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). MeCP2 is an abundant chromatin-associated protein that contains two well characterized domains. Through an N-terminal domain it recognizes methyl-CpGs and binds to nonmethylated DNA. A domain in the middle of the protein can act as a transcriptional repressor in transient transfection...
