The DNA Binding and Bending Activities of Truncated Tail-less HMGB1 protein are Differentially Affected by Lys-2 and Lys-81 Residues and Their Acetylation

<p>The role of lysines 2 and 81 as target sites for acetylation in full-length HMGB1 and truncated tail-less protein, respectively, has been studied by mutation analysis for the abilities of these proteins to bind and bend DNA. The DNA bending ability of truncated tail-less HMGB1 containing Ly...
