DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1146406
Abstract: Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) crucially contribute to organizing bacterial chromatin and regulating gene expression. Among the most highly expressed NAPs are the HU and integration host factor (IHF) proteins, whose functional homologues, HupB and mycobacterial integration… read more here.
