Abstract excerpt
HMGN1 is a nuclear protein that binds to nucleosomes and alters the accessibility of regulatory factors to their chromatin targets. To elucidate its biological function and identify specific HMGN1 target genes, we generated Hmgn1-/- mice. DNA microarray analysis of Hmgn1+/+ and Hmgn1-/- embryonic fibroblasts identified N-cadherin as a potential HMGN1 gene target. RT-PCR and western blot analysis confirmed a...
