The dimeric histone-like protein HU, one of the most abundant DNA binding proteins
ofEscherichia coli, is encoded by two closely related but unlinked genes, hupAandhupB …

Escherichia coli HU protein is a major component of the bacterial nucleoid. HU stabilizes
higher order nucleoprotein complexes and belongs to a family of DNA architectural proteins …

The histone-like dimeric HU protein of Escherichia coli is encoded by two closely related
genes, hupA and hupB. We show here that expression from the single hupA promoter and …

The major bacterial histone‐like protein HU is a small, basic, dimeric protein composed of
two closely related subunits. HU is involved in several processes in the bacterial cell such as …

Histone-like proteins in bacteria contribute to the control of gene expression, as well as
participating in other DNA transactions such as recombination and DNA replication. They …

The histone‐like protein H‐NS has been shown to influence the regulation of gene
expression at the transcriptional level in several Escherichia coli operons. We have …

Three start sites and a single start site for transcription of the hupB and hupA genes,
respectively, have been identified in Escherichia coli. Preceding the RNA start sites are DNA …

The apparatus required for the regulation of gene expression varies widely in complexity. At
one extreme, regulation can be achieved by one or two proteins acting at a DNA locus that …

The histone‐like protein HU plays a diverse role in bacterial physiology from the
maintenance of chromosome structure to the regulation of gene transcription. HU binds DNA …

HU is one of the most abundant DNA binding proteins in Escherichia coli. Like the histones,
HU is able to condense DNA in vitro and to introduce negative supercoiling in covalently …
