High mobility group (HMG) proteins are usually considered ubiquitous components of the eukaryotic chromatin. Using HMG gene promoter-GUS reporter gene fusions we have examined the expression of the reporter gene in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. These experiments have revealed that the different HMGA and HMGB promoters display overlapping patterns of activity, but they also show tissue- and developmental stage-specific differences. Moreover, leader introns that are present in some of the HMGB genes can modulate reporter gene expression. The differential HMG gene expression supports the view that the various HMG proteins serve partially different architectural functions in plant chromatin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D011401 Promoter Regions, Genetic DNA sequences which are recognized (directly or indirectly) and bound by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription.
