Description of the research topic:
The High Mobility Group –box (HMGB) proteins are non-histone chromatin associated proteins, which promote the stabile binding of chromatin remodeling complexes and other chromatin associated factors to the chromatin due to their ability to bind the DNA and establish interactions with the chromatin modulating factors. We had identified three HMGB proteins in Aspergillus nidulans, HmbA, HmbB and HmbC. We had described the physiological role of one of these proteins, HmbB (Karácsony és mtsai 2014, 2015). We aim to shed light on the physiological role of HmbA and HmbC.
