Expanding High Mobility Group A1 (HMGA1) chromatin functions. HMGA1 participates in the chromatin opening process by displacing histone H1 from chromatin via a competitive mechanism. Once bound to nucleosomes and/or DNA, HMGA1 is involved in the recruitment of transcription factors (TFs) and in the formation of protein platforms for the landing of other chromatin proteins [17,23]. In this work, we provided evidence that in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells HMGA1 could be an essential co-factor for conveying onto chromatin ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-3 (RSK2) and CREB-binding protein (CBP) activities.
