Organ Specific

An organ-specific non-histone protein, with a mol.wt. of 95,000, was isolated from hen oviduct. This protein consists of approximately equal amounts of acidic and basic amino acids and has an isolectric point of 7.4. On the basis of its known characteristics, this protein is similar to the high-mobility-group proteins observed in other tissues.

Acidic Proteins

Two new, closely similar, acidic proteins were extracted and purified from calf thymus and designated AP-X and AP-Y (acidic proteins X and Y). They contain about 33% acidic residues, mostly non-amidated, and 20% lysine, but no arginine, tyrosine, histidine or tryptophan. There is a single phenylalanine residue in a molecular weight of approx. 5000. Circular dichroism and proton nuclear magnetic resonance show that they do not take up secondary or tertiary structure in free solution, as expected from the low content of hydrophobic amino acids. They appear structurally related to the high-mobility-group proteins HMG 14 and 17. Controlled extraction experiments indicate that proteins AP-X and AP-Y are at least partially located in the calf thymus nucleus.

AbstractIn addition to nucleosomes, chromatin contains non-histone chromatin-associated proteins, of which the high-mobility group proteins are the most abundant. Chromatin-mediated regulation of transcription involves DNA methylation and histone modifications. However, the order of events and the precise function of high-mobility group proteins during transcription initiation remain unclear. Here we show that high-mobility group AT-hook 2 protein (HMGA2) induces DNA nicks at the transcription start site, which are required by the histone chaperone FACT complex to incorporate nucleosomes containing the histone variant H2A.X. Further, phosphorylation of H2A.X at S139 (γ-H2AX) is required for repair-mediated DNA demethylation and transcription activation. The relevance of these findings is demonstrated within the context of TGFB1 signaling and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting therapies against this lethal disease. Our data support the concept that chromatin opening during transcriptional initiation involves intermediates with DNA breaks that subsequently require DNA repair mechanisms to ensure genome integrity.
