MECP2, a multi-talented modulator of chromatin architecture.

Briefings in functional genomics - 1 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

It has been a long trip from 1992, the year of the discovery of MECP2, to the present day. What is surprising is that some of the pivotal roles of MeCP2 were already postulated at that time, such as repression of inappropriate expression from repetitive elements and the regulation of pericentric heterochromatin condensation. However, MeCP2 performs many more functions. MeCP2 is a reader of epigenetic information...
