The bacterial nucleoid, a bacterial genome packed by nucleoid binding proteins, forms the
physical basis for cellular processes such as gene transcription and DNA replication …

The architectural protein histone-like protein from Escherichia coli strain U93 (HU) is the
most abundant bacterial DNA binding protein and highly conserved among bacteria and …

Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are a class of highly abundant DNA-binding proteins
in bacteria and archaea. While both the composition and relative abundance of the NAPs …

The nucleoid-associated protein HU is one of the most abundant proteins in Escherichia coli
and has been suggested to play an important role in bacterial nucleoid organization and …

The Escherichia coli chromosome is condensed into an ill-defined structure known as the
nucleoid. Nucleoid-associated DNA-binding proteins are involved in maintaining this …

Nucleoid-associated proteins typically are abundant, low-molecular-mass polypeptides that
bind DNA and alter its shape and its ability to participate in transactions such as …

Escherichia coli HUαβ, a major nucleoid-associated protein, organizes chromosomal DNA
and facilitates numerous DNA transactions. Using isothermal titration calorimetry …

The Escherichia coli nucleoid protein, H-NS, functions as a global regulator for expression of
a wide variety of genes. We recently analyzed the structure-function relationship of H-NS …

Chimeric proteins between Escherichia coli histone-like HU and IHF were constructed by
genetic engineering, in which part of the arm region was replaced by the corresponding …

The extent to which chromosomal gene position in prokaryotes affects local gene expression
remains an open question. Several studies have shown that chromosomal re-positioning of …
