Abstract
Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a master regulator of neuronal gene expression, and its genetic mutations cause the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome. Single-molecule experiments have enabled the direct visualization of the dynamics of MeCP2 on DNA, shedding light on how the specific chromatin context tunes MeCP2 function.
期刊介绍：
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
