A general model for the function of HMGB proteins. An HMGB protein bound in the vicinity of an exit/entry point induces increased access to both DNA gyres in a spatially restricted patch. Elsewhere the HMGB protein lessens accessibility. The alternative, less accessible conformation of the nucleosome is stabilized by histone H1. Accessible and bound segments of DNA are indicated in orange and red, respectively.
