WormMine: Gene WBGene00023409

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00023409
• Gene Name: mbd-2
• Sequence Name: C27A12.10
• Brief Description: mbd-2 encodes an truncated ortholog of methyl-CpG-binding-domain (MBD) proteins; this is a surprising orthology, because C. elegans genomic DNA is unmethylated, and may reflect a more general role of MBD proteins in epigenetic regulation independent of methyl-DNA binding; while mbd-2(RNAi) animals have no obvious phenotype, RNAi of the C. briggsae mbd-2 ortholog causes paralysis; MBD-2 may be functionally analogous to MeCP2 proteins, which are required in nonmitotic neurons and deficient in the progressive autism Rett syndrome (OMIM:300005).
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable methyl-CpG binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rheumatoid arthritis and schizophrenia. Is an ortholog of human MBD2 (methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2).
• Biotype: SO:0001217
