| Abstract | High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) is a multifunctional protein with roles in chromatin structure, transcriptional regulation, V(D)J recombination, and inflammation. HMGB1 also binds to and bends damaged DNA, but the biological consequence of this interaction is not clearly understood. We have shown previously that HMGB1 binds cooperatively with nucleotide excision repair damage recognition proteins to triplex-directed psoralen DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). Thus, we hypothesized that HMGB1 modulates the repair of DNA damage in mammalian cells. We demonstrate here that mammalian cells lacking HMGB1 are hypersensitive to DNA damage induced by psoralen plus UVA irradiation (PUVA) or UVC radiation, showing less survival and increased mutagenesis. In addition, nucleotide excision repair efficiency is significantly decreased in the absence of HMGB1 as assessed by the repair and removal of UVC lesions from genomic DNA. We also explored the role of HMGB1 in chromatin remodeling upon DNA damage. Immunoblotting demonstrated that, in contrast to HMGB1 proficient cells, cells lacking HMGB1 showed no histone acetylation upon DNA damage. Additionally, purified HMGB1 protein enhanced chromatin formation in an in vitro chromatin assembly system. These results reveal a role for HMGB1 in the error-free repair of DNA lesions. Its absence leads to increased mutagenesis, decreased cell survival, and altered chromatin reorganization after DNA damage. Because strategies targeting HMGB1 are currently in development for treatment of sepsis and rheumatoid arthritis, our findings draw attention to potential adverse side effects of anti-HMGB1 therapy in patients with inflammatory diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
