High-mobility-group 1 protein mediates DNA bending as determined by ring closures.
High-mobility-group 1 protein (HMG1) is an abundant eukaryotic DNA-binding protein, the cellular role of which remains ill-defined. To test the ability of HMG1 itself to mediate curvature in double-stranded DNA, we examined its effect on the phage T4 DNA ligase-dependent cyclization of short DNA fragments. HMG1 caused circle formation for fragments > or = 87 bp. Fragments of 123, 100, 92, and 8...
متن کاملDNA wrapping and bending by a mitochondrial high mobility group-like transcriptional activator protein.
Mitochondrial transcription factor 1 (mtTF1) is the only accessory protein known to be required for accurate and efficient promoter recognition by mammalian mitochondrial RNA polymerase. It activates transcription by binding immediately upstream of transcriptional start sites and shows an inherent flexibility in primary DNA sequence requirement. By application of a purification strategy designe...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorders: the Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 Protein
The pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) likely involves genetic and environmental factors, impacting the complex neurodevelopmental and behavioral abnormalities of the disorder. Scientific researches emerging within the past two decades suggest that immune dysfunction and inflammation have pathogenic influences through different mechanisms, all leading to both a chronic state of low ...
متن کاملThe role of intercalating residues in chromosomal high-mobility-group protein DNA binding, bending and specificity.
Ubiquitous high-mobility-group (HMGB) chromosomal proteins bind DNA in a non-sequence- specific fashion to promote chromatin function and gene regulation. Minor groove DNA binding of the HMG domain induces substantial DNA bending toward the major groove, and several interfacial residues contribute by DNA intercalation. The role of the intercalating residues in DNA binding, bending and specifici...
متن کاملRole of the Acidic Tail of High Mobility Group Protein B1 (HMGB1) in Protein Stability and DNA Bending
High mobility group box (HMGB) proteins are abundant nonhistone proteins found in all eukaryotic nuclei and are capable of binding/bending DNA. The human HMGB1 is composed of two binding motifs, known as Boxes A and B, are L-shaped alpha-helix structures, followed by a random-coil acidic tail that consists of 30 Asp and Glu residues. This work aimed at evaluating the role of the acidic tail of ...
