Deinococcus radiodurans HU: a versatile architect of nucleoid structure and plasticity
Nucleoid-associated proteins are known to compact and organise bacterial genomes, but how their local DNA binding shapes higher-order chromatin architecture remains unclear. Using in vitro and in situ approaches, we investigated how Deinococcus radiodurans HU (DrHU) orchestrates nucleoid organisation. DrHU engages DNA through two synergistic binding modes: high-affinity {beta}-hairpin-mediated…
