MECP2

P51608

FUNCTION: Involved in control of the cell cycle (PubMed:10629049, PubMed:10779346, PubMed:15190068, PubMed:16624878, PubMed:23629655). Also antagonizes transactivation by ZBTB17 and GABP2; represses ZBTB17 activation of the p15(INK4b) promoter and inhibits its ability to recruit p300 (PubMed:10675337, PubMed:12244100). Coactivator for EGR2 and GABP2 (PubMed:12244100, PubMed:14532282). Tethers the chromatin modifying Set1/Ash2 histone H3 'Lys-4' methyltransferase (H3K4me) and Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes (involved in the activation and repression of transcription, respectively) together (PubMed:12670868). Component of a THAP1/THAP3-HCFC1-OGT complex that is required for the regulation of the transcriptional activity of RRM1 (PubMed:20200153). As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues (PubMed:20018852). Recruits KMT2E/MLL5 to E2F1 responsive promoters promoting transcriptional activation and thereby facilitates G1 to S phase transition (PubMed:23629655). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10629049, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10675337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10779346, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12244100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12670868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15190068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16624878, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20018852, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20200153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23629655}.; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) In case of human herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, HCFC1 forms a multiprotein-DNA complex with the viral transactivator protein VP16 and POU2F1 thereby enabling the transcription of the viral immediate early genes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10629049, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17578910}.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 SIN3A. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z2D6}.
