General annotation (Comments)

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.
Subunit structure	Interacts with FNBP3 By similarity. Interacts with CDKL5. Ref.15
Subcellular location	Nucleus. Note: Colocalized with methyl-CpG in the genome.
Tissue specificity	Present in all adult somatic tissues tested.
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylated on Ser-423 in brain upon synaptic activity, which attenuates its repressor activity and seems to regulate dendritic growth and spine maturation By similarity. Ref.13 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.19
Involvement in disease	Defects in MECP2 may be a cause of Angelman syndrome (AS) [MIM:105830]; also known as happy puppet syndrome. AS is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe mental retardation, absent speech, ataxia, sociable affect and dysmorphic facial features. AS and Rett syndrome have overlapping clinical features. Ref.34 Ref.38 Defects in MECP2 are the cause of mental retardation syndromic X-linked type 13 (MRXS13) [MIM:300055]. Mental retardation is a mental disorder characterized by significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRXS13 patients manifest mental retardation associated with other variable features such as spasticity, episodes of manic depressive psychosis, increased tone and macroorchidism. Ref.24 Ref.26 Ref.36 Ref.42 Ref.46 Ref.47 Ref.48 Ref.52 Ref.56 Defects in MECP2 are the cause of Rett syndrome (RTT) [MIM:312750]. RTT is an X-linked dominant disease, it is a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females. Patients appear to develop normally until 6 to 18 months of age, then gradually lose speech and purposeful hand movements and develop microcephaly, seizures, autism, ataxia, intermittent hyperventilation, and stereotypic hand movements. After initial regression, the condition stabilizes and patients usually survive into adulthood. Ref.34 Ref.38 Ref.47 Ref.5 Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.25 Ref.27 Ref.28 Ref.29 Ref.30 Ref.31 Ref.32 Ref.33 Ref.35 Ref.37 Ref.40 Ref.41 Ref.49 Ref.50 Ref.51 Ref.54 Defects in MECP2 may be the cause of susceptibility to X-linked autism 3 (AUTSX3) [MIM:300496]. AUTSX3 is a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), prototypically characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, restricted and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities, and the presence of developmental abnormalities by 3 years of age. Ref.53 Defects in MECP2 are the cause of neonatal severe encephalopathy due to MECP2 mutations [MIM:300673]. The MECP2 gene is mutated in Rett syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that almost always occurs in females. Although it was first thought that MECP2 mutations causing Rett syndrome were lethal in males, later reports identified a severe neonatal encephalopathy in surviving male sibs of patients with Rett syndrome. Additional reports have confirmed a severe phenotype in males with Rett syndrome-associated MECP2 mutations. A chromosomal duplication involving MECP2 is the cause of mental retardation syndromic X-linked Lubs type (MRXSL) [MIM:300260]. Increased dosage of MECP2 appears to be responsible for the mental retardation phenotype. The main features present in affected males are severe to profound mental retardation with onset at birth, axial and facial hypotonia, progressive spasticity predominantly at the lower limbs, seizures and recurrent infections. Ref.55
Sequence similarities	Contains 2 A.T hook DNA-binding domains. Contains 1 MBD (methyl-CpG-binding) domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]

Isoform A (identifier: P51608-1)

Also known as: Beta;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

Isoform B (identifier: P51608-2)

Also known as: Alpha;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-9: MVAGMLGLR → MAAAAAAAPSGGGGGGEEERL

Note: Ten times higher expression levels than isoform A in brain.
