MBTD1


Description

The MBTD1 (mbt domain containing 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.

MBTD1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the MBTD1 gene. The gene is also known as SA49P01.

MBTD1 is a chromatin reader that is part of the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex, which plays a role in transcriptional activation and DNA repair. It specifically recognizes and binds to monomethylated and dimethylated Lys-20 on histone H4 (H4K20me1 and H4K20me2). MBTD1 helps recruit the NuA4 complex to these marks by competing with TP53BP1. Once recruited, NuA4 acetylates Lys-15 on histone H2A (H2AK15), blocking the ubiquitination mark needed for TP53BP1 localization and promoting homologous recombination.

MBTD1 is also known as SA49P01.
