The pathways for selective transcriptional repression of methylated DNA templates by the methyl-CpG-binding protein MeCP2 have been investigated using a purified in vitro transcription system that does not assemble chromatin. MeCP2 selectively inhibits transcription complex assembly on methylated DNA but does not destabilize a pre-assembled transcription complex. MeCP2 functions to repress transcription at a distance of >500 bp from the transcription start site. The transcription repression domain (TRD) of MeCP2 will repress transcription in vitro when fused to a heterologous Gal4 DNA-binding domain. The TRD associates with TFIIB. Exogenous TFIIB does not relieve transcriptional repression established by either intact MeCP2 or a Gal4-TRD fusion protein under these in vitro conditions, nor does the addition of histone deacetylase inhibitors. We find that the transcriptional repression established by both MeCP2 and the Gal4-TRD fusion protein in vitro also correlates with selective assembly of large nucleoprotein complexes. The formation of such complexes reflects a local concentration of DNA-bound transcriptional repressor that may stabilize a state of repression even in the presence of exogenous transcriptional machinery.
