Participation of the histone-like protein HU and of IHF in minichromosomal maintenance in Escherichia coli.

Gene - 15 Jul 1991

Abstract excerpt

The closely related Escherichia coli genes, hupA, hupB, himA and himD (hip), encode the bacterial histone-like protein subunits, HU-2, HU-1, IHF chi and IHF beta, respectively. We report here that E. coli minichromosomes [plasmids (2.7-12.2 kb) with oriC] carrying the intact mioC region were unable to transform mutants deficient in both HU and integration host factor (IHF), whereas they could transform mutants...
