Linking high mobility group (HMG) box subdomains in proteins can affect their function. The triple HMG box construct (ABA) was unfolded and less active, showing long-range inter-domain effects influence HMG box activity.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Protein Structure and Function

Background:

  • Proteins can comprise independently folding and functioning subdomains.
  • High mobility group (HMG) boxes are DNA-binding domains found in nuclear proteins.
  • HMG boxes recognize specific DNA structures like four-way junctions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interaction and effects of linking HMG box subdomains in the nuclear protein rHMG1.
  • To determine if the order and number of HMG boxes influence subdomain folding and DNA-binding activity.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of fusion proteins: an inverted di-domain (BA) and a triple domain (ABA).
  • Analysis of protein folding and functional activity of the engineered constructs.
  • Comparison of the activity of di-domain and triple domain constructs with individual HMG boxes.

Main Results:

  • The AB and BA di-domain constructs exhibited similar and functional activity.
  • The ABA triple subdomain construct showed partial unfolding.
  • The ABA construct displayed reduced functional activity compared to individual boxes or di-domains.

Conclusions:

  • Long-range inter-domain effects can significantly influence the folding and activity of HMG boxes.
  • The arrangement and number of HMG boxes are critical for maintaining protein structure and function.
