Integration host factor (IHF) is a DNA–bending protein that recognizes its cognate sites
through indirect readout. Previous studies have shown that binding of wild-type (WT)-IHF is …

The crystal structure of integration host factor (IHF) complexed with DNA shows how a small
heterodimeric protein can induce a big bend in DNA. IHF exerts leverage in the minor …

Integration host factor (IHF) is a small heterodimeric protein that specifically binds to DNA
and functions as an architectural factor in many cellular processes in prokaryotes. Here, we …

The binding of many proteins to DNA is profoundly affected by DNA bending, twisting, and
supercoiling. When protein binding alters DNA conformation, interaction between inherent …

Integration host factor, IHF, is a sequence-specific DNA-binding and DNA-bending protein
composed of two related but non-identical subunits. We report the isolation and …

Integration host factor (IHF) is a bacterial protein that binds and severely bends a specific
DNA target. IHF binding sites are approximately 30 to 35 bp long and are apparently divided …

The prokaryotic integration host factor (IHF) is a DNA-binding protein that binds to specific
DNA sites as a heterodimer. Genetic and mutational analyses have previously identified …

Azide moieties have been specifically placed in the backbone of DNA by chemical coupling
between azidophenacyl bromide and uniquely positioned phosphorothioate residues. The …

The dynamics and mechanism of how site-specific DNA-bending proteins initially interrogate
potential binding sites prior to recognition have remained elusive for most systems. Here we …

Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are crucial in organizing prokaryotic DNA and
regulating genes. Vital to these activities are complex nucleoprotein structures, however …
