Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) involves the expression of a polyglutamine-expanded TATA box binding protein (TBP), a general transcription initiation factor. TBP interacts with other protein factors, including high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), to regulate gene expression. In this study, we examined the effect of TBP Q-tract length on HMGB1 binding using recombinant HMGB1 and N-terminal TBP/Q20~61 proteins. The intracellular association of HMGB1 with TBP was first confirmed by using a…

High Mobility Group Protein 1 Interacts Specifically with the Core Domain of Human TATA Box-binding Protein and Interferes with Transcription Factor IIB within the Pre-initiation Complex*

A general involvement of HMG1 at the early stages of polymerase II transcription that may result in subtle activation or repression of individual genes is suggested.

The Binding Interaction of HMG-1 with the TATA-binding Protein/TATA Complex*

Findings indicate that interaction of HMG-1 with the Q-tract in hTBP is primarily responsible for stable complex formation, and that the interaction extends over many species but does not include yeast TBP.

Proteome analysis of soluble nuclear proteins reveals that HMGB1/2 suppress genotoxic stress in polyglutamine diseases

A proteome analysis of soluble nuclear proteins prepared from neurons expressing huntingtin (Htt) or ataxin-1 (AT1) protein, and show that mutant AT1 and Htt similarly reduce the concentration of soluble high mobility group B1/2 (HMGB1/ 2) proteins, indicates that HMGBs may be critical regulators of polyQ disease pathology and could be targets for therapy development.

Molecular investigation of TBP allele length: a SCA17 cellular model and population study

The N‐terminal domain of the human TATA‐binding protein plays a role in transcription from TATA‐containing RNA polymerase II and III promoters.

Investigation of the role of the N‐terminal region of human TBP in transcription initiation from RNA polymerase (Pol) I, II and III promoters by using three monoclonal antibodies shows that a defined region within the N-terminal domain may be involved in specific protein‐protein interactions required for the assembly of functional preinitiation complexes on TATA‐containing, but not on Tata‐less promoters.

HMG1 interacts with HOX proteins and enhances their DNA binding and transcriptional activation.

It is proposed that HMG1‐like proteins might be general co‐factors in HOX‐mediated transcriptional activation, which facilitate access of HOX proteins to specific DNA targets, and/or introduce architectural constraints in the assembly ofHOX‐containing transcriptional complexes.
