Cell attachment and fibrinogen binding properties of platelet and endothelial cell thrombospondin are not affected by structural differences in the 70 and 18 kDa protease-resistant domains.

abstract：:MeCP2 is a chromatin-associated protein that is mutated in Rett syndrome. Its methyl-CpG-binding domain interacts with DNA containing methylated cytosine, but other modes of recruitment to the genome have also been proposed. Here, we use in vitro and in vivo assays to investigate the DNA binding specificity of two AT-...
