THE SOLUTION STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF THE DNA BINDING DOMAIN OF HMG-D FROM DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTERTHE SOLUTION STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF THE DNA BINDING DOMAIN OF HMG-D FROM DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
Structural highlights
1hma is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Drosophila melanogaster. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
HMGD_DROME Binds preferentially single-stranded DNA and unwinds double stranded DNA. Prefers sites containing the sequence 5'-ttg-3'. Facilitates DNA bending. Associated with early embryonic chromatin in the absence of histone H1.[1][2][3]
