Abstract excerpt
The histone-like protein HU in Escherichia coli are encoded by the hupA and hupB genes. A hupA-hupB double deletion mutant has now been shown to express an immotile phenotype. The motility of hupA or hupB single mutants was similar to that of wild-type cells. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresi...
