Abstract excerpt
Truncated derivatives of the Escherichia coli nucleoid-associated protein H-NS that lack the DNA-binding domain remain competent for silencing of the cryptic bgl operon in vivo. Previous studies have provided evidence for the involvement of either the homologous nucleoid protein StpA or the alternative sigma factor RpoS in this unusual silencing mechanism. Here, we rationalize this apparent discrepancy. We show...
