H-NS is a bacterial transposon capture protein

2024-02-16

Abstract excerpt

The histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) protein is a DNA binding factor, found in γ-proteobacteria, with functional equivalents in diverse microbes. Universally, such proteins are understood to silence transcription of horizontally acquired genes. Here, we identify transposon capture as a major overlooked function of H-NS. Using genome scale approaches, we show that H NS bound chromosomal regions are transpos...
