Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 represses LINE-1 expression and retrotransposition but not Alu transcription

In order to explore the defense mechanism by which retrotransposons are repressed, we assessed the ability of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2, MeCP2, to influence LINE-1 (L1) and Alu transcription and, furthermore, L1 retrotransposition. In transient transfection assays, targeting of the transcriptiona...
