Abstract excerpt
H-NS is a major Escherichia coli nucleoid-associated protein involved in bacterial DNA condensation and global modulation of gene expression. This protein exists in cells as at least two different isoforms separable by isoelectric focusing. Among other phenotypes, mutations in hns result in constitutive expression of the proU and fimB genes, increased fimA promoter inversion rates, and repression of the flhCD...
