Alanine mutagenesis of high-mobility-group-protein-1 box B (HMG1-B).
We have generated a set of alanine-scanning substitutions in high-mobility-group protein 1 box B (HMG1-B; the second domain of the HMG1 nuclear protein from the rat) in order to explore the influence of specific surface side chains on its function and folding. Guanidine hydrochloride and thermal unfolding studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of substituted residues on the fol...
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 کاملHigh mobility group 1 (HMG1) protein in mouse preimplantation embryos
High mobility group 1 protein (HMG1) has traditionally been considered a structural component of chromatin, possibly similar in function to histone H1. In fact, at the onset of Xenopus and Drosophila development, HMG1 appears to substitute for histone H1: HMG1 is abundant when histone H1 is absent after the midblastula transition histone H1 largely replaces HMG1. We show that in early mouse emb...
متن کاملRegion of insect high mobility group (HMG) 1 protein homologous to helix 2 of the rat HMG1-b box is in close contact with DNA.
The dipteran insects Chironomus and Drosophila have high mobility group (HMG) 1 proteins that are similar to mammalian HMG1 but contain one instead of two HMG1 boxes. The interaction of the Chironomus HMG1 proteins cHMG1a and cHMG1b with double-stranded and four-way junction DNA was analyzed by investigating the accessibility of defined sequences of the HMG1 box to specific antibodies within th...
متن کاملHigh Mobility Group Box Protein-1 in Wound Repair
High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), a member of highly conserved non-histone DNA binding protein family, has been studied as transcription factor and growth factor. Secreted extracellularly by activated monocytes and macrophages or passively released by necrotic or damaged cells, extracellular HMGB1 is a potent mediator of inflammation. Extracellular HMGB1 has apparently contrasting biol...
