Repression of the γ-globin gene by MBD2. (A) Contrasting effect of deletions of MBD2 and MBD3 on fetal hemoglobin (HbF). (B) Amino acid substitutions within the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) and coiled-coiled (CC) domains of MBD2 disrupt interactions with components of the NURD co-repressor and fail to repress HbF in MBD2 knockout cells.
