HMG-box
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The HMG-box (High Mobility Group box) is a protein domain which is involved in DNA binding.[1]
Structure
The structure of the HMG-box domain contains three alpha helices separated by loops (see figure to the right).[2]
Function
HMG-box containing proteins only bind non-B-type DNA conformations (kinked or unwound) with high affinity.[1] HMG-box domains are found in high mobility group proteins, which are involved in the regulation of DNA-dependent processes such as transcription, replication, and DNA repair, all of which require changing the conformation of chromatin.[2]
