Learn MoreMECP2 is critical for proper brain development and expressed at near-histone levels in neurons, but the mechanism of its genomic localization remains poorly understood. Using high-resolution MeCP2 binding data, we show that genetic features alone can predict binding with 88% accuracy. Integrating MeCP2 binding and DNA methylation in a probabilistic graphical model, we demonstrate that previously reported methylation preferences may be due to MeCP2s affinity to GC-rich chromatin, a result replicated using published data. Furthermore, MeCP2 co-localized with nucleosomes, and Mecp2 deletion led to nucleosome repositioning. Finally, MeCP2 binding downstream of promoters correlated with increased expression in Mecp2 deficient neurons. SOURCE: Hans,Tomas,RubeJun Song University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
