Crystal structure of methyl CpG binding domain of MBD4 in complex with the 5mCG/5mCG sequenceCrystal structure of methyl CpG binding domain of MBD4 in complex with the 5mCG/5mCG sequence
FunctionFunction
[MBD4_MOUSE] Mismatch-specific DNA N-glycosylase involved in DNA repair. Has thymine glycosylase activity and is specific for G:T mismatches within methylated and unmethylated CpG sites. Can also remove uracil or 5-fluorouracil in G:U mismatches. Has no lyase activity. Was first identified as methyl-CpG-binding protein.
