HMGN2 Proteins and Enzymes

HMG17 (high mobility group transcription factor 17) is an 18 kD high mobility group chromosomal protein. This nuclear protein is common to all eukaryotes and is developmentally regulated. HMG17 binds DNA in a non-sequence specific manner and interacts with nucleosomes to modulate chromatin structure. HMG17 regulates the gene expression of p53, Hox transcription factors, and steroid hormone receptors (increases DNA binding affinity). Phosphorylation of HMG17 may interfere with nuclear ...
