Background: MBD4

MBD4 (Methyl CpG-binding domain protein 4; also MED1) is a 65-68 kDa member of the methyl CpG binding protein family. It is expressed in non-germline cells, and serves at least two functions: one, it interacts with FADD to up- or down-regulate apoptosis, and two, it acts as a DNA N-glycosylase that excises improper chromosomal thymines that are created through the spontaneous deamination of methylcytosine to thymine. Human MDB4 is 580 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one DNA-binding MBD domain (aa 76-148) and one endonuclease domain (aa 455-580). There are three isoform variants. One shows a deletion of aa 395-400, another shows an AlaPro substitution for aa 539-580, and a third shows a Gln substitution for aa 83-401. Over aa 382-580, human MBD4 shares 90% aa identity with mouse MBD4.
