TI  - Molecular cloning of a cDNA encoding a high mobility group protein in Cucumis 
      sativus and its expression by abiotic stress treatments.
PG  - 205-8
AB  - A cDNA encoding a high mobility group B (HMGB) protein was isolated from Cucumis 
      sativus and characterized with respect to its sequence, expression and responses 
      to various abiotic stress treatments. The predicted polypeptide of 146 amino acid 
      residues contains characteristic features of HMGB family proteins including the 
      N-terminal basic region, one HMG-box and a stretch of acidic amino acid residues 
      at the C-terminus. In vitro nucleic acid-binding assay revealed that the HMGB 
      protein bound to both single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA. DNA gel blot 
      analysis indicated that the HMGB gene is a single copy gene in cucumber genome. 
      RNA gel blot analysis showed that the cucumber HMGB was more abundantly expressed 
      in the roots than in shoots and leaves. Various abiotic stresses, including cold, 
      drought and high salinity, down regulated markedly the expression of the HMGB in 
      cucumber. The present report identifies a novel gene encoding HMGB protein in 
      cucumber that shows a significant response to abiotic stress treatments.
