RESEARCH UPDATE
CGGBP1 is a GC-rich DNA-binding protein crucial for genomic integrity, gene expression, and epigenome maintenance. This study reveals that its DNA-binding domain (DBD) restricts cytosine methylation, preserving transcription factor binding sites and regulating gene activity. Evolutionary analysis suggests this function evolved in vertebrates, highlighting CGGBP1’s key role in epigenetic regulation.
