HMG-box
In molecular biology, the HMG-box (high mobility group box) is a protein domain which is involved in DNA binding. The domain is composed of approximately 75 amino acid residues that collectively mediate the DNA-binding of chromatin-associated high-mobility group proteins. HMG-boxes are present in many transcription factors and chromatin-remodeling complexes, where they can mediate non-sequence or sequence-specific DNA binding.
