Abstract excerpt
The H-NS protein is a major component of the Escherichia coli nucleoid. Mutations in hns, the gene encoding H-NS, have pleiotropic effects on the cell altering both the expression of a variety of unlinked genes and the inversion rate of the DNA element containing the fimA promoter. We investigated the interaction between H-NS and fimB, the gene encoding the bidirectional recombinase that catalyzes fimA promoter...
