Protein kinase CK2 differentially phosphorylates maize chromosomal high mobility group B (HMGB) proteins modulating their stability and DNA interactions.
The high mobility group (HMG) proteins of the HMGB family are architectural factors in eukaryotic chromatin, which are involved in the regulation of various DNA-dependent processes. We have examined the post-translational modifications of five HMGB proteins from maize suspension cultured cells, revealing that HMGB1 and HMGB2/3, but not HMGB4 and HMGB5, are phosphorylated by protein kinase CK2. ...
متن کاملMechanism of DNA flexibility enhancement by HMGB proteins
The mechanism by which sequence non-specific DNA-binding proteins enhance DNA flexibility is studied by examining complexes of double-stranded DNA with the high mobility group type B proteins HMGB2 (Box A) and HMGB1 (Box A+B) using atomic force microscopy. DNA end-to-end distances and local DNA bend angle distributions are analyzed for protein complexes deposited on a mica surface. For HMGB2 (B...
متن کاملDNA binding by single HMG box model proteins.
The HMG1/2 family is a large group of proteins that share a conserved sequence of approximately 80 amino acids rich in basic, aromatic and proline side chains, referred to as an HMG box. Previous studies show that HMG boxes can bind to DNA in a structure-specific manner. To define the basis for DNA recognition by HMG boxes, we characterize the interaction of two model HMG boxes, one a structure...
متن کاملPriming the nucleosome: a role for HMGB proteins?
The high-mobility-group B (HMGB) chromosomal proteins are characterized by the HMG box, a DNA-binding domain that both introduces a tight bend into DNA and binds preferentially to a variety of distorted DNA structures. The HMGB proteins seem to act primarily as architectural facilitators in the manipulation of nucleoprotein complexes; for example, in the assembly of complexes involved in recomb...
متن کاملCajal Body Proteins Differentially Affect the Processing of Box C/D scaRNPs
Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), which are required for pre-mRNA splicing, contain extensively modified snRNA. Small Cajal body-specific ribonucleoproteins (scaRNPs) mediate these modifications. It is unknown how the box C/D class of scaRNPs localizes to Cajal Bodies (CBs). The processing of box C/D scaRNA is also unclear. Here, we explore the processing of box C/D scaRNA 2 and 9 by c...
