Disease relevance of MBD4

 

High impact information on MBD4

 

Chemical compound and disease context of MBD4

 

Biological context of MBD4

 

Anatomical context of MBD4

  • Reduced expression of DNA repair protein, MBD4, was significantly correlated with poorer tumor differentiation and involvement of portal vein [13].
  • During an analysis of MBD4 expression in HeLa cells we noted the presence of an unexpectedly short reverse transcribed product [14].
 

Associations of MBD4 with chemical compounds

  • Back-up UDG activities such as SMUG, TDG and MBD4 were not found, underlying the importance of the TcUNG enzyme in protection against uracil in DNA and as a potential target for drug therapy [15].
  • A spectrum of deaminated cis-syn cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in the supF gene was determined using the mismatch glycosylase activities of MBD4 protein in combination with ligation-mediated PCR [16].
  • The MBD4 gene is involved in the repair of mutation at methyl-CpG dinucleotides [4].
  • Among the methyl CpG binding proteins, MBD2 and MBD4 specifically associated with the methylated promoter and inhibited its activity [17].
  • 5-Methylcytosine DNA glycosylase activity is also present in the human MBD4 (G/T mismatch glycosylase) and in a related avian sequence [18].
 

Physical interactions of MBD4

 

Other interactions of MBD4

  • MED1, a novel human methyl-CpG-binding endonuclease, interacts with DNA mismatch repair protein MLH1 [12].
  • Expression of MBD2 and MBD4 tagged with green fluorescent protein in mouse cells shows that both proteins colocalize with foci of heavily methylated satellite DNA [9].
  • MBD3 and MBD4/MED1, however, showed a correlation of expression with the grade of malignancy [20].
  • TDG and MBD4 may have specialized roles in the repair of U and T in mismatches in CpG contexts [21].
  • The adjusted odd ratios were 1.25 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.53] for the ADPRT 762Ala allele, 1.25 (95% CI 1.02-1.53) for the MBD4 346 Lys allele, 0.78 (95% CI 0.63-0.97) for the LIG3 3704G allele, and 1.38 (95% CI 1.01-1.89) for the XRCC1-77C allele [22].
