Abstract:
The DNA sequence specific interaction of the high mobility group non-histone protein HMG-I (Y) with the 3' untranslated region of the bovine interleukin-2 cDNA has been studied. Circular dichroism and thermal denaturation studies suggest that HMG-I (Y) alters the conformational state and increases the thermal stability of the DNA. Additionally, amino acid sequence analysis suggests that the previously identified non-histone protein HMG-Y is an isoform of HMG-I.
