Abstract excerpt
Two types of two-hybrid systems demonstrate that the transcriptional repressor, nucleoid-associated protein H-NS (histone-like, nucleoid structuring protein) forms dimers and tetramers in vivo, the latter being the active form of the protein. The H-NS 'protein oligomerization' domain (N-domain) is unable to oligomerize in the absence of the intradomain linker while the 'DNA-binding' C-domain clearly displays a...
