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 …

Bacterial histone-like HU proteins are critical to maintenance of the nucleoid structure. In
addition, they participate in all DNA-dependent functions, including replication, repair …

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 …

We studied the interaction between the integration host factor (IHF), a major nucleoid-
associated protein in bacteria, and single DNA molecules. Force–extension measurements …

IHF and HU belong to a family of proteins that introduce sharp bends into DNA and act as
accessory factors in a variety of cellular processes in prokaryotes. In addition to the crystal …

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 …

Transcriptional control of the himA and the himD/hip genes coding for the two subunits of the
integration host factor (IHF) was investigated. The promoters for the two genes were …

The apparatus required for the regulation of gene expression varies widely in complexity. At
one extreme, regulation can be achieved by one or two proteins acting at a DNA locus that …

This chapter focuses on the major nucleoid‐associated proteins and summarizes one's
current knowledge of how these proteins contribute to the structure of the nucleoid and …

Expression from the Escherichia coli nir promoter is co‐dependent on both the FNR protein
(an anaerobically triggered transcription activator) and the NarL or NarP proteins …
