Physical Organization of DNA by Multiple Non-Specific DNA-Binding Modes of Integration Host Factor (IHF)

The integration host factor (IHF) is an abundant nucleoid-associated protein and an essential co-factor for phage λ site-specific recombination and gene regulation in E. coli. Introduction of a sharp DNA kink at specific cognate sites is critical for these functions. Interestingly, the intracellular...
