Abstract excerpt
The integration host factor (IHF) is a DNA-binding and -bending protein with roles in local DNA structural organization and transcriptional regulation in Gram-negative bacteria. This heterodimeric protein is composed of the two highly homologous subunits IHFalpha and IHFbeta. DNA microarray analysis was used to define the regulon of genes subject to IHF control in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S....
