Extremely AT-rich DNA sequences present a challenging template for specific recognition by
RNA polymerase. In bacteria, this is because the promoter− 10 hexamer, the major DNA …

Heat-stable nucleoid-structuring protein (H-NS) is one of the main nucleoid proteins
expressed in exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells. In addition to a role in nucleoid …

The histone‐like nucleoid structuring (H‐NS) protein and its analogues bind large stretches
of horizontally acquired AT‐rich DNA in a broad range of bacterial species. Binding by H‐NS …

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 …

The effect of the bacterial heat-stable nucleoid-structuring (H-NS) protein on gene
expression is overwhelmingly negative and extends throughout the genome, pointing to an …

In Escherichia coli, the major nucleoid protein H-NS limits transcription by acting as a
repressor or transcriptional silencer, presumably by its ability to close the looped …

We have investigated the relationship between oligomerization in solution and DNA binding
for the bacterial nucleoid protein H-NS. This was done by comparing oligomerization and …

Transcription initiation by RNA polymerase (RNP) carrying the house-keeping σ subunit,
σ70 (Eσ70), is repressed by H-NS at a number of promoters including hdeAB p in …

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 …

H‐NS is one of the most intensively studied members of the family of bacterial nucleoid‐
associated proteins. It is a DNA‐binding protein with a preference for A+ T‐rich DNA …
