Description: Methylation of cytosine at CpG dinucleotides is a common feature of many highereukaryotic genomes (1-3). Increasing evidence indicates that recruitement of histonedeacetylase complexes by methyl-CpG-binding proteins (MeCP) is a major mechanism ofmethylated DNA silencing. P66, a zinc finger-containing protein is one of the componentsof the MeCP1 complex (4). P66 and p68, the two components of MeCP1 are different formsof the same zinc finger-containing protein and are conserved from C. elegans to humans. Homologs of p66 from different organisms revealed two highly conserved regions, CR1 andCR2. While CR1 is involved in the association of p66 with other MeCP1 components, CR2plays an important role in targeting p66 and MBD3 to specific loci (4).
