Talk:High mobility group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm taking a nervous system development class currently, and this page isn't very informative. I thought that there was some kind of functional reason for the high mobility group domain. Why is it called high mobility in the first place? I was trying to figure out the information given on this brief page. what does it mean to be a "chromosomal protein?" there is not a wiki page defining that term. i gathered from my textbook that having a high mobility group might mean that this family of proteins can cross into the nucleus easily and/or bind directly to DNA. Is that correct? In the "function" section of this page, it only mentions some examples of what can happen when these transcription factors get messed up. What do they do when they are working correctly?
thanks,
