The NuRD complex is a multi-protein transcriptional corepressor that couples histone deacetylase and ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling activities.In humans, an assembly of proteins called the NuRD complex makes chromatin more compact by removing acetyl groups from nucleosomes. This complex is important for early development and for the stability and repair of our genes. Three proteins make up its core: HDAC1, which removes the acetyl group from the nucleosome; MTA1, which acts as a scaffold to hold the complex together; and RBBP4, which enables the complex to interact with nucleosomes. MBD2 and MBD3 are members of the methyl cytosine-guanosine (CpG)-binding domain (MBD) family of proteins42; 43. Of the five MBD members, only MBD2 and MBD3 associate with NuRD and are required for the complex formation and gene repression. |
