Escherichia coli HU protein suppresses DNA-gyrase-mediated illegitimate recombination and SOS induction.

Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular mechanisms - 1 Aug 1998

Shanado Y, Kato J, Ikeda H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The HU protein is an abundant DNA binding protein of bacteria and is a major constituent of the bacterial nucleoid. HU protein is known to be involved in several fundamental biological functions, including DNA supercoiling, DNA replication, site-specific DNA inversion, and transposition. It is generally thought that a functional relationship exists between HU protein and DNA gyrase. RESULTS: We found...
