Rl. Qian et al., INTERACTION BETWEEN HMG PROTEINS (1-FLANKING SEQUENCE OF THE HUMAN BETA-GLOBIN GENE(2) AND THE NEGATIVE REGULATORY REGION 1(NCR1) IN THE 5'), Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 36(8), 1993, pp. 933-939
The pattern of high mobility group proteins 1 and 2 (HMG1,2) interacti
on with the 5'-flanking sequence of the human beta-globin gene has bee
n analyzed by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). A 200 bp negative
regulatory region in the 5'-flanking sequence of the human beta-globin
gene can be folded by HMG proteins 1 and 2 into a circular structure
(diameter 70 +/- 6 angstrom) with a linear tail which seems to be a le
ft-handed double helix structure.
