The dynamic nature of the chromatin fiber provides the structural and functional flexibility required for the accurate transcriptional responses to various stimuli. In living cells, structural proteins such as the linker histone Hi and the high mobility group (HMG) proteins continuously modulate the local and global architecture of the chromatin fiber and affect the binding of regulatory factors to their nucleosomal targets. HMGN proteins specifically bind to the nucleosome core particle through a highly conserved nucleosomal binding domain (NBD) and reduce chromatin compaction. HMGN5 (NSBP1), a new member of the HMGN protein family, is ubiquitously expressed in mouse and human tissues. Similar to other HMGNs, HMGN5 is a nuclear protein which binds to nucleosomes via NBD, unfolds chromatin, and affects transcription. This protein remains mainly uncharacterized and its biological function is unknown. In this review, we describe the structure of the HMGN5 gene and the known properties of the HMGN5 protein. We present recent findings related to the expression pattern of the protein during development, the mechanism of HMGN5 action on chromatin, and discuss the possible role of HMGN5 in pathological and physiological processes.
