Despite enormous progress in understanding the fundamentals of bacterial gene regulation,
our knowledge remains limited when compared with the number of bacterial genomes and …

Microorganisms produce and accumulate compatible solutes aiming at protecting
themselves from environmental stresses. Among them, the wide spread in nature ectoines …

How genomes are organized within cells and how the 3D architecture of a genome
influences cellular functions are significant questions in biology. A bacterial genomic DNA …

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 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 …

The bacterial chromosomal DNA is folded into a compact structure called nucleoid. The
shape and size of this 'body'is determined by a number of factors. Major players are DNA …

Two recent reports have indicated that the H-NS protein in Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhimurium has a key role in selectively silencing the transcription of large numbers of …

The H-NS nucleoid-associated DNA-binding protein is an important global repressor of
transcription in Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, H-NS has been implicated in the process …

Heat-stable nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) is an abundant prokaryotic protein that plays
important roles in organizing chromosomal DNA and gene silencing. Two controversial …

Abstract Background The chromosome of Escherichia coli is maintained in a negatively
supercoiled state, and supercoiling levels are affected by growth phase and a variety of …
