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 …

Bacteria represent the vast majority of biological diversity found on Earth. In this review, we
focus on selected aspects of their genetic material, those providing insight into structural …

The Escherichia coli protein Fis is remarkable for its ability to interact specifically with DNA
sites of highly variable sequences. The mechanism of this sequence-flexible DNA …

The yjjQ and bglJ genes encode LuxR-type transcription factors conserved in several
enterobacterial species. YjjQ is a potential virulence factor in avian pathogenic Escherichia …

Dissemination of the bacterial transposon Tn10 is limited by target site channeling, a
process wherein the transposon ends are forced to interact with and insert into a target site …

Temperature is one of the key environmental parameters affecting bacterial gene
expression. This study investigated the effect of temperature on synthesis of Escherichia coli …

Understanding mechanisms of gene regulation is a major goal of modern molecular biology
and much work has focused on the central roles of DNA binding proteins in controlling the …

Many bacteria can express polysaccharide capsules on their cell surface, which may be
important virulence factors. Escherichia coli is able to express more than 70 distinct capsular …

Recombinant antibodies have increased in prominence as therapeutics and diagnostic tools
since their introduction to the market in the mid-1980's. They are used to treat diverse …

The major goal of this research is extensive investigation of biological roles of short genomic
repeats, their periodicity and distribution along genomic sequences and involving in gene …
