Function
Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides (PubMed:9774669). Binds hemimethylated DNA as well (PubMed:10947852, PubMed:24307175). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases to chromatin (PubMed:10471499, PubMed:10947852). Acts as a component of the histone deacetylase NuRD complex which participates in the remodeling of chromatin (PubMed:16428440, PubMed:28977666). Acts as a transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing (PubMed:10471499, PubMed:10947852, PubMed:16415179). Functions as a scaffold protein, targeting GATAD2A and GATAD2B to chromatin to promote repression (PubMed:16415179). May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters (PubMed:12665568).

Supplementary info
This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
- Activity summary
MBD2 also known as methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 is a protein with a molecular mass of about 45 kDa. This protein binds to methylated DNA specifically at CpG islands and plays a role in gene silencing. MBD2 is expressed in various tissues throughout the body including the brain liver and spleen. It contains a methyl-CpG-binding domain which facilitates its interaction with methylated DNA sequences influencing the transcription of particular genes.
- Biological function summary
MBD2 functions as a transcriptional repressor. It is part of the MeCP1 complex which includes proteins such as MTA2 and HDAC1. This complex remodels chromatin structure to suppress gene expression. MBD2's ability to recruit chromatin remodeling enzymes allows it to modulate access to the underlying DNA affecting the gene activity and playing a role in cellular differentiation and development.
- Pathways
The role of MBD2 is particularly important in DNA methylation and chromatin modification pathways. It interacts with the DNA methylation machinery influencing epigenetic regulation. MBD2 works closely with other proteins like MeCP2 which shares similar binding properties to control gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. These interactions highlight its role in modulating cellular function and responding to changes in the cellular environment.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Alterations in MBD2 have been linked to various cancers and neurological disorders. MBD2 deregulation affects pathways involved in tumor suppression and its overexpression has been noted in certain aggressive forms of cancer. In the context of neurological disorders MBD2 together with its related protein MeCP2 is implicated in conditions like Rett syndrome. Understanding the role of MBD2 in these diseases offers potential therapeutic avenues in targeting epigenetic modifications for treatment.
