title: Chromosomal location and expression of the single-copy gene encoding high-mobility-group protein HMG-I/Y in Arabidopsis thaliana.
abstract: A cDNA encoding the HMG-I/Y protein from Arabidopsis thaliana has been isolated and characterised by nucleotide sequencing. The 903 bp cDNA contains a 612 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 204 amino acid residues showing homology to HMG-I/Y proteins from other plant species. The protein contains four copies of the 'AT-hook' motif which is involved in binding A/T-rich DNA. Southern blotting showed that the HMG-I/Y gene was present in a single copy in the Arabidopsis genome. The gene was localised to the top of chromosome 1 by RFLP analysis of F8 recombinant inbred lines. Northern blotting showed that the gene was expressed in all organs examined, with the highest expression in flowers and developing siliques.
