Abstract The Hha and YdgT proteins are suggested to modulate the expression of
horizontally acquired genes by interacting with H-NS and StpA, which play central roles in …

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 …

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 …

A barrier for horizontal gene transfer is high gene expression, which is metabolically
expensive. Silencing of horizontally-acquired genes in the bacterium Escherichia coli is …

The nucleoid-associated proteins H-NS and StpA in Escherichia coli bind DNA as oligomers
and are implicated in gene regulatory systems. There is evidence for both homomeric and …

Twelve different dominant negative mutants of the Escherichia coli nucleoid-associated
protein, H-NS, have been selected and characterized in vivo. The mutants are all severely …

Truncated derivatives of the Escherichia coli nucleoid‐associated protein H‐NS that lack the
DNA‐binding domain remain competent for silencing of the cryptic bgl operon in vivo …

Nucleoid‐associated protein H‐NS represses transcription by forming extended DNA–H‐NS
complexes. Repression by H‐NS operates mostly at the level of transcription initiation. Less …

Histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) is a modular protein that is associated with
the bacterial nucleoid. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation to determine the binding …

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 …
