hns | DNA-binding protein HLP-II; Binds tightly to dsDNA. Acts as a global transcriptional regulator through its ability to bind to AT-rich DNA sequences. Binds in the minor groove of AT-rich DNA. Was found to bind 746 genes, about half of which show no change in expression in disruption experiments suggesting these sites are important for nucleoid structure. On a global level genes bound by H-NS are expressed at a lower than average level; H-NS is excluded from binding to highly transcribed genes and does not co-localize with RNA polymerase in DNA-binding studies during exponential growth i [...] (137 aa) | ||||
stpA | DNA-binding protein with chaperone activity; A DNA-binding protein that acts in a fashion similar to H-NS, repressing gene transcription. A subset of H-NS/StpA-regulated genes require auxillary proteins for repression; these auxillary proteins (Hha and other similar proteins) may also modulate oligomerization of the H-NS/StpA complex (By similarity).
