Popis: A 29 kD soluble rat liver nucleoprotein (p29) has increased binding affinity for the hormone responsive element (RE) of the rat haptoglobin (Hp) gene during the acute-phase reaction. In this work the possibility of its structural and functional homology to the high mobility group 1 (HMG1) nonhistone protein constituent of chromatin was examined. The results of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, Southwestern and Western immunoblot analyses, showed that p29 and HMG1 are homologous protein species. On the basis of in vitro and in vivo phosphorylation/dephosphorylation experiments, we discuss the modulatory role of phosphate groups in view of the structure and function of p29.
