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 …

Most bacterial promoters are regulated by several signals. This is reflected in the complexity
of their organization, with multiple binding sites for different transcription factors. Studies of a …

H-NS belongs to the group of histone-like proteins in Gram-negative bacteria and is also a
pleiotropic regulator of genes implicated in many responses to environmental changes. It …

The transcriptional activator RovA of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, a member of the SlyA/Hor
family, activates its own expression and that of the virulence factor invasin in response to …

In enteric bacteria, proteins of the Hha/YmoA family play a role in the regulation of gene
expression in response to environmental factors. Interaction of both Hha and YmoA with H …

Shigella species are the causative agents of bacillary dysentery in humans, an invasive
disease in which the bacteria enter the cells of the epithelial layer of the large intestine …

We report here that phased runs of adenines and thymines are very frequent in the
neighborhood of 3′ of the coding regions of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. These …

The centromere sequence parC of Escherichia coli low-copy-number plasmid R1 consists of
two sets of 11 bp iterated sequences. Here we analysed the intrinsic sequence-directed …
