Highlights•Interactions between bacteria and phages are in a continuum between extreme
antagonism and occasional symbiosis, resulting in hypervarible defense and …

In Bacteria, nucleoid structuring proteins govern nucleoid dynamics and regulate
transcription. In Shigella spp., at≤ 30° C, the histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) …

Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) play a central role in chromosome organization and
environment-responsive transcription regulation. The Bacillus subtilis-encoded NAP Rok …

DNA in bacterial chromosomes is organized into higher‐order structures by DNA‐binding
proteins called nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) or bacterial chromatin proteins (BCPs) …

Type III and type VI secretion systems (T3/T6SS) are encoded in horizontally acquired
genomic islands (GIs) that play crucial roles in evolution and virulence in bacterial …

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, poses an ongoing
health threat due to its wide repertoire of horizontally acquired elements (HAEs) and …

This protocol describes the application of atomic force microscopy for structural analysis of
prokaryotic and organellar nucleoids. It is based on a simple cell manipulation procedure …

Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) play a central role in chromosome organization and
environment-responsive transcription regulation. The Bacillus subtilis-encoded NAP Rok …

The binding constant is an important characteristic of a DNA-binding protein. A large number
of methods exist to measure the binding constant, but many of those methods have intrinsic …

DNA looping is important for genome organization in all domains of life. The basis of DNA
loop formation is the bridging of two separate DNA double helices. Detecting DNA bridge …
