cd01390: HMGB-UBF_HMG-box (this model, PSSM-Id:238686 is obsolete and has been replaced by 438792)
HMGB-UBF_HMG-box, class II and III members of the HMG-box superfamily of DNA-binding proteins. These proteins bind the minor groove of DNA in a non-sequence specific fashion and contain two or more tandem HMG boxes. Class II members include non-histone chromosomal proteins, HMG1 and HMG2, which bind to bent or distorted DNA such as four-way DNA junctions, synthetic DNA cruciforms, kinked cisplatin-modified DNA, DNA bulges, cross-overs in supercoiled DNA, and can cause looping of linear DNA. Class III members include nucleolar and mitochondrial transcription factors, UBF and mtTF1, which bind four-way DNA junctions.
