'''High mobility group protein (HMG)''' is a chromatin protein which organizes the DNA and regulater transcription.  HMG superfamilies differ by their DNA-binding domains.  '''HMGA'''s bind via an AT-hook domain.  '''HMGB'''s bind via box domain.  '''HMGN'''s bind via a nucleosome binding domain.  For details on HMGA see [[HMGI(Y)]].
