Identification and characterization of a family of mammalian methyl-CpG binding proteinsB Hendrich
Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, Scotland
Mol Cell Biol 18:6538-47. 1998..The data demonstrate that MBD2 and MBD4 bind specifically to methyl-CpG in vitro and in vivo and are therefore likely to be mediators of the biological consequences of the methylation signal...
Human diseases with underlying defects in chromatin structure and modificationB Hendrich
Centre for Genome Research, University of Edinburgh, Roger Land Building, Edinburgh EH9 3JQ, Scotland, UK
Hum Mol Genet 10:2233-42. 2001..Here we describe these 'chromatin diseases' and review what is known about the associated chromatin proteins in light of recent advances in the understanding of chromatin components, modification and function...- Closely related proteins MBD2 and MBD3 play distinctive but interacting roles in mouse developmentB Hendrich

Institute for Stem Cell Research, The University of Edinburgh, Roger Land Building, The King s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JQ, UK
Trends Genet 19:269-77. 2003..We describe here the evolution of the MBD proteins and argue that the vertebrate MBD complement evolved to exploit the benefits and protect against the dangers of a globally methylated genome... - Genomic structure and chromosomal mapping of the murine and human Mbd1, Mbd2, Mbd3, and Mbd4 genesB Hendrich
Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Edinburgh, Darwin Building, King s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JR Scotland, UK
Mamm Genome 10:906-12. 1999..The Mbd1 and Mbd2 genes, in contrast, map together to murine and human Chromosomes (Chrs)18. The Mbd3 and Mbd4 genes map to murine Chrs 10 and 6, respectively, while the human MBD3 and MBD4 genes map to Chrs 19 and 3, respectively... - Mbd3, a component of the NuRD co-repressor complex, is required for development of pluripotent cellsKeisuke Kaji

Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, The King s Buildings, Edinburgh University, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, United Kingdom
Mol Cell Biol 26:199-208. 2006..Our data suggest that Kaiso plays a role in intestinal cancer and may therefore represent a potential target for therapeutic intervention... - The NuRD component Mbd3 is required for pluripotency of embryonic stem cellsKeisuke Kaji
Centre Development in Stem Cell Biology, Institute for Stem Cell Research, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH9 3JQ, Scotland, UK
Nat Cell Biol 8:285-92. 2006..Our findings define a role for epigenetic silencing in the cell-fate commitment of pluripotent cells... - MBD2 is a transcriptional repressor belonging to the MeCP1 histone deacetylase complexH H Ng
Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Edinburgh, The King s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, UK
Nat Genet 23:58-61. 1999..12). In our hands, MBD2 does not demethylate DNA. Our data suggest that HeLa cells, which lack the known methylation-dependent repressor MeCP2, use an alternative pathway involving MBD2 to silence methylated genes... - Keeping things quiet: roles of NuRD and Sin3 co-repressor complexes during mammalian developmentPatrick McDonel
University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JQ, UK
Int J Biochem Cell Biol 41:108-16. 2009..In this review we will summarise the evidence that the two major class I histone deacetylase complexes in mammalian cells, the NuRD and Sin3 complexes, play important roles in distinct aspects of embryonic development... - MeCP2 in neurons: closing in on the causes of Rett syndromeIsabel Martín Caballero
