Histone-like protein HU is required for recA gene-dependent DNA repair and SOS induction pathways in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli.

International journal of radiation biology - 1 Jan 2000

Miyabe I, Zhang Q M, Kano Y, Yonei S

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Escherichia coli HU protein exists as a heterodimer composed of two highly homologous subunits, HU-1 and HU-2, encoded by the hupB and hupA genes, respectively. It introduces negative supercoils into a relaxed circular DNA. Various roles of HU have been suggested in cellular processes such as DNA replication and transcription. The present experiments were designed to understand the role of HU in DNA...
