Gene Information

Biochem/physiol Actions

High mobility group 1 (HMG1) is a 26 kDa highly conserved non-sequence-specific DNA-binding nuclear protein. Mammalian HMG1 has two homologous DNA-binding domains HMG boxes, A and B (each of 80–90 amino-acid residues), linked by a short basic region to an acidic C-terminal domain containing 30 consecutive Asp and Glu residues. HMG1 has been implicated in a number of fundamental biological processes including transcription, replication and recombination, in which it plays a role in manipulating DNA structure by bending, looping, compaction or unwinding, or by directly contacting with distinct cellular proteins. HMG-1 can act as a repressor, by interacting with TBP to block pre-initiation complex formation or as an activator, by facilitating the binding of various transcription factors to their cognate DNA sequences. Most recently, it was discovered that HMG-1 is a late mediator of delayed endotoxin lethality by activating downstream cytokine release.

Endogenous host-derived molecules named damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) can induce excessive non-sterile inflammatory responses on recognition of specific membrane-tethered receptors. Here in this study, we aimed to explore the role of DAMP molecule HMGB1 in astrocyte-mediated sterile neuroinflammation and the

High mobility group protein 1 (HMG1) is a non-histone, chromatin-associated nuclear protein with a proposed role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. We show that HMG1 interacts with proteins encoded by the HOX gene family by establishing protein-protein contacts
