MeCP2 requires interactions with nucleosome linker DNA to read chromatin DNA methylation

Abstract Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a clinically important epigenetic reader that is essential for neuronal function, but how it binds methylated DNA within the protein-DNA complexes that comprise chromatin is unclear. Using designer nucleosomes, we observe that MeCP2 is able to engage...
