Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis phage phi29 nucleoid-associated protein p6 (103 amino acids) is essential for in vivo viral DNA replication and control of transcription, and it has been proposed to play a role in genome organization and compaction. This protein self-associates in vitro from preformed dimers forming high-molecular-weight oligomers and binds to double-stranded DNA giving rise to multimeric nucleoprotein...
