Abstract excerpt
The nucleoid-associated protein GapR found in Caulobacter crescentus is crucial for DNA replication, transcription, and cell division. Associated with overtwisted DNA in front of replication forks and the 3' end of highly-expressed genes, GapR can stimulate gyrase and topo IV to relax (+) supercoils, thus facilitating the movement of the replication and transcription machines. GapR forms a dimer-of-dimers...
