The histone-like protein integration host factor (IHF) of Escherichia coll binds to specific
binding sites on the chromosome or on mobile genetic elements, and is involved in many …

Integration host factor (IHF) of Escherichia coli is an asymmetric histone‐like protein that
binds and bends the DNA at specific sequences. IHF functions as an accessory factor in a …

The integration of bacteriophage lambda into the E. coli chromosome occurs by reciprocal
recombination between specific sites in the phage and bacterial chromosomes, attf (POP') …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes methods used to study the mechanism of
transcription activation by integration host factor (IHF), using the Pe promoter of …

Revised Manuscript Received August 8, 1995® abstract: The integration host factor (IHF) of
Escherichia coli is a small, sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. The specific and …

We describe a fast and very efficient method of purification which yields highly purified
integration host factor-like proteins in one chromatographic step. IHF-like proteins from …

HU is one of the most abundant DNA binding proteins of bacteria. Unlike IHF, integration
host factor of Escherichia coli, with which HU shares many properties, including a strong …

A genetic system for the selection of clones coding for integration host factor and HU
homologs is described. We demonstrate that the himA and hip genes of Serratia …

Integration host factor (IHF) is a DNA-binding and-bending protein that has been found in a
number of gram-negative bacteria. Here we describe the cloning, sequencing, and …

Integration host factor (IHF) is an E coli protein that binds DNA sequence-specifically and
serves as a cofactor in many intracellular processes including λ DNA packaging. In gel shift …
