| UniProt functional annotation for P17096 | |||
| UniProt code: P17096. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | HMG-I/Y bind preferentially to the minor groove of A+T rich regions in double-stranded DNA. It is suggested that these proteins could function in nucleosome phasing and in the 3'-end processing of mRNA transcripts. They are also involved in the transcription regulation of genes containing, or in close proximity to A+T-rich regions. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with HIPK2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus. Chromosome. | |
| Ptm: | Constitutively phosphorylated on two or three sites. Hyperphosphorylated at early stages of apoptosis, followed by dephosphorylation and methylation, which coincides with chromatin condensation. Isoforms HMG-I and HMG-Y can be phosphorylated by HIPK2. Phosphorylation of HMG-I at Ser-36, Thr-53 and Thr-78 and of HMG-Y at Thr-42 and Thr-67 by HIPK2 modulates DNA-binding affinity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12653562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15835918}. | |
| Ptm: | HMG-Y is not methylated. | |
| Ptm: | Methylation at Arg-58 is mutually exclusive with methylation at Arg-60. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16159886}. | |

| Mass spectrometry: | [Isoform HMG-I]: Mass=11828; Mass_error=12; Method=MALDI; Note=With 1 acetyl and 3 phosphate groups. The measured range is 2-107.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15835918}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Isoform HMG-I]: Mass=11765; Mass_error=12; Method=MALDI; Note=With 1 acetyl, 1 methyl and 2 phosphate groups. The measured range is 2-107.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15835918}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Isoform HMG-I]: Mass=11844; Mass_error=12; Method=MALDI; Note=With 1 acetyl, 1 methyl and 3 phosphate groups. The measured range is 2-107.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15835918}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Isoform HMG-I]: Mass=11780; Mass_error=12; Method=MALDI; Note=With 1 acetyl, 2 methyl and 2 phosphate groups. The measured range is 2-107.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15835918}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Isoform HMG-I]: Mass=11858; Mass_error=12; Method=MALDI; Note=With 1 acetyl, 2 methyl and 3 phosphate groups. The measured range is 2-107.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15835918}; | |
| Disease: | Note=A chromosomal aberration involving HMGA1 is found in pulmonary chondroid hamartoma. Translocation t(6;14)(p21;q23-24) with RAD51B. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11978964}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the HMGA family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
