Preferred Label : hmg-box domains;
MeSH definition : DNA-binding domains present in proteins of the HMG-box superfamily including the archetypal
HMGB PROTEINS, a number of sequence specific TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS, and other DNA-BINDING
PROTEINS. The domains consist of 70-80 amino acids that form an L-shaped fold from
three alpha-helical segments. The domain has the capacity to recognize and/or induce
specific DNA structures and effect the accessibility of the DNA to other proteins
involved in transcription, recombination, or DNA repair. (Note that not all HIGH MOBILITY
GROUP PROTEINS contain this domain.);
