Spiral structure of Escherichia coli HUalphabeta provides foundation for DNA supercoiling.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 13 Mar 2007

Guo Fusheng, Adhya Sankar

Abstract excerpt

We determined the crystal structure of the Escherichia coli nucleoid-associated HUalphabeta protein by x-ray diffraction and observed that the heterodimers form multimers with octameric units in three potential arrangements, which may serve specialized roles in different DNA transaction reactions...
