High Levels of MeCP2 Depress MHC Class I Expression in Neuronal Cells

BACKGROUND: The expression of MHC class I genes is repressed in mature neurons. The molecular basis of this regulation is poorly understood, but the genes are particularly rich in CpG islands. MeCP2 is a transcriptional repressor that binds to methylated CpG dinucleotides; mutations in this protein...
