Abstract excerpt
In bacteria, the contribution of global nucleoid organization in determining cellular transcription programs is unclear. Using a mutant form of the most abundant nucleoid-associated protein HU, HUalpha(E38K,V42L), we previously showed that nucleoid remodeling by the mutant protein re-organizes the global transcription pattern. Here, we demonstrate that, unlike the dimeric wild-type HU, HUalpha(E38K,V42L) is an...
