Multifaceted roles of MeCP2 in cellular regulation and phase separation: implications for neurodevelopmental disorders, depression, and oxidative stress

Abstract excerpt

Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a chromatin-associated protein that remains enigmatic despite more than 30 years of research, primarily due to the ever-growing list of its molecular functions, and, consequently, its related pathologies. Loss of function MECP2 mutations cause the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome (RTT); in addition, dysregulation of MeCP2 expression and/ or function are involved in...
