The Escherichia coli hns gene encodes the abundant nucleoid-associated DNA-binding
protein H-NS. Mutations in hns alter the expression of many genes with unrelated functions …

The H‐NS protein is a major constituent of the Escherichia coli nucleoid structure and is
implicated in the compact organization of the chromosome. Based on recent genetic …

Transcription of the proU operon of Escherichia coli is induced several hundred-fold upon
growth at elevated osmolarity, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood …

The proU operon of Escherichia coli encodes a high-affinity glycine betaine transport system
which is osmotically inducible and enables the organism to recover from the deleterious …

TheEscherichia coliH-NS protein is one of the major constituents of the nucleoid structure.
This protein has been implicated not only in the compact organization of the nucleoid …

We have used supercoiled DNA templates in this study to demonstrate that transcription in
vitro from the P1 and P2 promoters of the osmoresponsive proU operon of Escherichia coli is …

The Escherichia coli nucleoid protein, H-NS (or H1a), appears to influence the regulation of
a variety of unrelated E. coli genes and operons. To gain an insight into the regulation of the …

The nucleoid-associated protein H-NS has a central role in the structuring and control of the
enteric bacterial chromosome. This protein has been demonstrated to contribute to the …

H‐NS is one of the two most abundant proteins in the bacterial nucleoid and influences the
expression of a number of genes. We have studied the interaction of H‐NS with DNA; …

H-NS is a major component of bacterial chromatin and influences the expression of many
genes. H-NS has been shown to exhibit a binding preference for certain AT-rich curved DNA …
