Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial histone HM is the major DNA-binding protein in mitochondria and is necessary for maintenance of the mitochondrial genome in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during growth on fermentable sugars. HM and the Escherichia coli histone-like protein HU have similar activities in vitro, including DNA supercoiling, but share no sequence similarity. We show that HU can functionally complement the...
