Identification of a single-stranded DNA binding protein from rat liver with high mobility group protein 1.
The rat liver single-stranded DNA binding protein, S25 and HD25, isolated by differential DNA cellulose affinity chromatography was compared to the high mobility group proteins, HMG1 and HMG2, isolated from rat liver chromatin by the technique of Goodwin et al. (Goodwin, G. H., Sanders, C., and Johns, E. W. (1973) Eur. J. Biochem. 38, 14-19). Analysis of their amino acid composition, electrophoretic mobility, and tryptic peptide map reveal the identity of the single-stranded DNA binding protein with HMG1 protein, implying that the rat liver HMG1 protein becomes able both to destabilize a double helix of DNA and to stimulate homologous DNA polymerases only when rat liver cells enter a phase of DNA synthesis, possibly after a specific modification.
