title: Interaction of the mouse chromosomal protein HMG-I with the 3' ends of genes in vitro.
abstract: High affinity mouse HMG-I binding sites have been distinguished from other (A+T)-rich sequences using band competition assays. These sites have been found 3' to the coding regions of a variety of genes. For the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase and minute virus of mice genes, high affinity HMG-1 binding sites were further localized to the functional polyadenylation signal by DNase I footprinting. These results suggest that HMG-I may function at the 3' ends of genes in vivo.
