Binding of HMGN proteins to cell specific enhancers stabilizes cell identity
HMGN1 and HMGN2 are ubiquitous nucleosome binding proteins. Here the authors provide evidence that HMGN proteins preferentially localize to chromatin regulatory sites to modulate the plasticity of the epigenetic landscape, proposing that HGMNs stabilize, rather than determine, cell identity.
