MBD4 (MED1; methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4) recognizes and binds thymine mispaired with guanine in CpG islands. G:T mispair is generated by oxidative deamination of 5-methylcytosine (Petronzelli et al. 2000). MBD4 contains two DNA binding domains: an N-terminal methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) and a C-terminal mismatch-specific glycosylase domain (Wu et al. 2003). MBD4 catalytic domain uses a flipping mechanism to extrude the thymine from the helix and thereby detect G:T mispairs (Morera et al. 2012).
