Journal ArticleDOI

Methylated DNA and MeCP2 recruit histone deacetylase to repress transcription.

TL;DR: The results establish a direct causal relationship between DNA methylation-dependent transcriptional silencing and the modification of chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methylation directs a time-dependent repression of transcription initiation.

TL;DR: The mechanism of methylation-dependent HSV tk gene regulation is examined by direct determination of nucleoprotein organization during the establishment of a transcriptionally silenced state after microinjection of templates with defined methylation states into Xenopus oocyte nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

CDKL5 belongs to the same molecular pathway of MeCP2 and it is responsible for the early-onset seizure variant of Rett syndrome

TL;DR: It is shown here that CDKL5 is a nuclear protein whose expression in the nervous system overlaps with that of MeCP2, during neural maturation and synaptogenesis, and that it is indeed a kinase, which is able to phosphorylate itself and to mediate Me CP2 phosphorylation, suggesting that they belong to the same molecular pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Mechanisms of Gene Silencing Mediated by DNA Methylation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a few methylated cytosines can inhibit a flanking promoter but a threshold of modified sites is required to organize a stable, diffusible chromatin structure.
