Background: MBD4

MBD4, methyl-CpG binding domain protein 4 (MED1), is part of the mammalian DNA glycosylase superfamily. MBD4 may be involved in maintaining genome stability, epigenetics via DNA methylation, as well as carcinogenesis. MBD4 has an amino-proximal methyl-CpG binding domain and a C-terminal mismatch-specific glycosylase domain. This configuration is thought to help maintain genome stability (PMID: 21820404). Proteins with methylcytosine-binding domains act as transcriptional repressors via promoter methylation, as well as promote the gene-silencing effect of DNA methylation. A study of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia has shown that a decrease in expression of MBD4 may be involved with the pathogenesis of the disease (PMID: 21377502). Additionally, MBD4 has been shown to be a human DNA repair protein that is possibly involved in DNA mismatch repair. Furthermore, a study investigating microsatellite instability found that the MBD4 codon 346 polymorphism may be a factor in colorectal cancer susceptibility in the Korean population (PMID: 19469655).
