Interaction of Non-histone Chromosomal Proteins HMG1 and HMG2 with DNA [PDF]
Interaction between non-histone protein HMG1 or HMG2 and DNA has been studied by using thermal denaturation and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. We have made the following observations. 1. The binding of each of these two proteins to DNA stabilizes the latter, as shown by an increase in melting temperature of 20 degrees C (from 45 degrees C to ...

DNA Modifications: Function and Applications in Normal and Disease States
Epigenetics refers to a variety of processes that have heritable effects on gene expression programs without changes in DNA sequence. Key players in epigenetic control are chemical modifications to DNA, histone, and non-histone chromosomal proteins ...

Interaction of HP1 and Brg1/Brm with the Globular Domain of Histone H3 Is Required for HP1-Mediated Repression [PDF]
The heterochromatin-enriched HP1 proteins play a critical role in regulation of transcription. These proteins contain two related domains known as the chromo- and the chromoshadow-domain.

Epigenetics and airways disease
Epigenetics is the term used to describe heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself but by post-translational modifications in DNA and histone proteins. These modifications include histone acetylation, methylation,

Proteomic interrogation of human chromatin. [PDF]
Chromatin proteins provide a scaffold for DNA packaging and a basis for epigenetic regulation and genomic maintenance. Despite understanding its functional roles, mapping the chromatin proteome (i.e. the "Chromatome") is still a continuing process. Here,

Loss of expression of ATM is associated with worse prognosis in colorectal cancer and loss of Ku70 expression is associated with CIN [PDF]
Repair of double strand DNA breaks (DSBs) is pivotal in maintaining normal cell division and disruption of this system has been shown to be a key factor in carcinogenesis.

HMGA2, the architectural transcription factor high mobility group, is expressed in the developing and mature mouse cochlea. [PDF]
Hmga2 protein belongs to the non-histone chromosomal high-mobility group (HMG) protein family. HMG proteins have been shown to function as architectural transcription regulators, facilitating enhanceosome formation on a variety of mammalian promoters ...

Conformational Studies of Two Non‐histone Chromosomal Proteins and Their Interactions with DNA [PDF]
The conformational properties of two non-histone chromosomal proteins (high-mobility-group proteins 1 and 2) have been studied by spectroscopic methods. The interaction of high-mobility-group protein 1 with DNA has also been studied. 1. Circular dichroism results indicate that in the presence of salt both proteins are 40-50% helical between pH 1 and 9.
