High mobility group protein HMG-I/HMG-Y

UniProtKB accession:  P17096

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  HMG-I/Y bind preferentially to the minor groove of A+T rich regions in double-stranded DNA. It is suggested that these proteins could function in nucleosome phasing and in the 3'-end processing of mRNA transcripts. They are also involved in the transcription regulation of genes containing, or in close proximity to A+T-rich regions.
