Putative high mobility group (HMG) non‐histone chromosomal proteins from wheat germ

Abstract

Four proteins were isolated from wheat germ by methods analogous to those used to isolate HMG [high mobility group] proteins from animal tissue. All 4 proteins were chromosomal in origin. Although amino acid analyses show that 3 of these proteins have compositions similar to those of the mammalian HMG proteins, N-terminal sequence analyses of these proteins show an absence of sequence homology with any of the mammalian HMG proteins.
