| Research Abstract |
We studied physiological roles of high mobility group N (HMGN) and obtained following results. (1) HMGN3 was highly expressed in pancreatic endocrine cells, and -knockout mouse showed a diabetic phenotype. (2) HMGN3 might interact with a splicing factor. (3) Overexpression of HMGN3 affected the gene expression little in fibroblast but largely in pancreatic beta cell-derived cell. (4) Opposite results were obtained by overexpression of HMGN3 in these cells. HMGN1 interacted with PCNA and facilitated its binding to chromatin.
