Abstract excerpt
HMG (high mobility group) 1 is a chromosomal protein with two homologous DNA-binding domains, the HMG boxes A and B. HMG-1, like its individual HMG boxes, can recognize structural distortion of DNA, such as four-way DNA junctions (4WJs), that are very likely to have features common to their natural, yet unknown, cellular binding targets. HMG-1 can also bend/loop DNA and introduce negative supercoils in the...
