HMGN2
Function
Binds to the inner side of the nucleosomal DNA thus altering the interaction between the DNA and the histone octamer. May be involved in the process which maintains transcribable genes in a unique chromatin conformation (By similarity).
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation favors cytoplasmic localization.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the HMGN family.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Cytoplasmic enrichment upon phosphorylation.
Alternative names
HMG17, HMGN2, Non-histone chromosomal protein HMG-17, High mobility group nucleosome-binding domain-containing protein 2
