Abstract

The plant high mobility group (HMG) proteins can be grouped into two families: HMGB (HMG 1/2) and HMGA (HMG I/Y). This entry represents a subset of the HMGB family from plants, including Arabidopsis HMGB1-5. HMGB proteins bind to chromosomal DNA via their DNA binding motif, a HMG box, and induce structural changes of chromatin [ 1 ].
