NCIt definition : High mobility group nucleosome-binding domain-containing protein 3 (99 aa, 11 kDa)
is encoded by the human HMGN3 gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of
chromatin remodeling-dependent processes.;
NCIt note : Many vertebrates contain an additional type of HMGN protein named HMGN3 (Trip7). HMGN3a
and HMGN3b are two protein isoforms with a tissue-specific expression pattern. Unique
within the HMGN family, the HMGN3 transcript undergoes alternative splicing and generates
two different variants, HMGN3a and HMGN3b. The shorter variant, HMGN3b, arises from
an additional splice site that truncates exon V and causes a frameshift. The resulting
HMGN3b protein lacks the majority of the C-terminal chromatin-unfolding domain. Both
splice variants are found in many vertebrates from frogs to man and are expressed
in many tissues. The pattern of tissue-specific expression differs considerably from
those of HMGN1 and HMGN2 at both the mRNA and the protein level. It is possible that
these nucleosome-binding proteins function as co-activators in tissue-specific gene
expression. (J Biol Chem 2001; 276:25959-69.);
