Dynamic action of an intrinsically disordered protein in DNA compaction that induces mycobacterial dormancy
4 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacteria are the major human pathogens with the capacity to become dormant persisters. Mycobacterial DNA-binding protein 1 (MDP1), an abundant histone-like protein in dormant mycobacteria, induces dormancy phenotypes, e.g. chromosome compaction and growth suppression. For these functions, the polycationic intrinsically disordered region (IDR) is essential. However, the disordered property of IDR stands in the...
