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}.

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}.
