Radically truncated MeCP2 rescues Rett syndrome-like neurological defects
Heterozygous mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene cause the profound neurological disorder Rett syndrome (RTT)1. MeCP2 protein is an epigenetic reader whose binding to chromatin primarily depends on 5-methylcytosine (mC)2,3. Functionally, MeCP2 has been implicated in several cellular processes based...
