Abstract excerpt
DNA-binding proteins from starved cells (Dps), which are encoded by many bacterial genomes, protect genomic DNA via non-specific DNA binding, as well as inhibition of free radical formation by chelating Fe(II). In the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena, the second gene (lti46.2) in the low temperature-induced gene operon lti46 in strain M3 was found to encode a homologue of Dps, but for a long time this gene...
