Metabolically versatile free-living bacteria have global regulation systems that allow cells to
selectively assimilate a preferred compound among a mixture of several potential carbon …

Transcriptional activation of many bacterial promoters in their natural environment is not a
simple on/off decision. The expression of cognate genes is integrated in layers of iterative …

The histone-like nucleoid structuring protein, H-NS, is a prominent global regulator of gene
expression. Many Gram-negative bacteria contain multiple members of the H-NS family of …

Edited by a renowned and much cited chemist, this book covers the whole span of molecular
computers that are based on biomolecules. The contributions by all the major scientists in …

In addition to the sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS) dedicated to carbohydrate
uptake, many Gram-negative bacteria possess a so-called nitrogen PTS (PTS Ntr). Although …

The nucleoid-associated protein H-NS is thought to play an essential role in the organization
of bacterial chromatin in Escherichia coli. Homologues, often with very low sequence …

The cupA gene cluster of Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes components of a putative
fimbrial structure that enable this opportunistic human pathogen to form biofilms on abiotic …

Alternative σ-factors of bacteria bind core RNA polymerase to program the specific promoter
selectivity of the holoenzyme. Signal-responsive changes in the availability of different σ …

MvaT from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a member of the histone-like nucleoid structuring
protein (H-NS) family of nucleoid-associated proteins widely spread among Gram-negative …

H‐NS is an abundant DNA‐binding protein that has been implicated in the silencing of
foreign DNA in several different bacteria. The ability of H‐NS dimers to form higher‐order …
