Abstract excerpt
Nucleoid proteins are small, abundant, DNA-binding proteins that profoundly affect the local and global structure of the chromosome, and play a major role in gene regulation. Although several of these proteins have been shown to enhance assembly of transpososomes before initiating transposition, no systematic survey has been carried out examining the in vivo role(s) of these proteins in transposition. We have...
