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 …

Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are small aquatic animals. Some tardigrade
species tolerate almost complete dehydration and exhibit extraordinary tolerance to various …

To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism
(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene …

The region immediately downstream from the miaA tRNA modification gene at 94.8 min
contains the hfq gene and the hflA region, which are important in the bacteriophage Qβ and …

H‐NS is a small chromatin‐associated protein found in enterobacteria. H‐NS has affinity for
all types of nucleic acids but binds preferentially to intrinsically curved DNA. The major role …

Lateral gene transfer has played a prominent role in bacterial evolution, but the mechanisms
allowing bacteria to tolerate the acquisition of foreign DNA have been incompletely defined …

Abstract The Escherichia coli H-NS protein is a nucleoid-associated protein involved in gene
regulation and DNA compaction. To get more insight into the mechanism of DNA …

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 …

In Escherichia coli crosstalk between DNA supercoiling, nucleoid-associated proteins and
major RNA polymerase σ initiation factors regulates growth phase-dependent gene …
