Abstract excerpt
The high-mobility group N (HMGN) proteins are abundant nonhistone chromosomal proteins that bind specifically to nucleosomes at two high-affinity sites. Here we report that purified recombinant human HMGN1 (HMG14) and HMGN2 (HMG17) potently repress ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling by four different molecular motor proteins. In contrast, mutant HMGN proteins with double Ser-to-Glu mutations in their...
