The Escherichia coli histone-like protein HU affects DNA initiation, chromosome partitioning via MukB, and cell division via MinCDE.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 1997

Jaffe A, Vinella D, D'Ari R

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli hupA hupB double mutants, lacking both subunits (HU1 and HU2) of the histone-like protein HU, accumulate secondary mutations. In some genetic backgrounds, these include mutations in the minCDE operon, inactivating this system of septation control and resulting in the formation of minicells. In the course of the characterization of hupA hupB mutants, we observed that the simultaneous absence of...
