Histone-like proteins and bacterial chromosome structure.
Prokaryotic cells synthesize a set of small, usually basic proteins that bind DNA and are collectively called histonelike proteins because their biochemical properties resemble eukaryotic histones. Whereas the eukaryotic histones have a well defined function in packaging DNA through restraining left-handed toroidal DNA supercoils in nucleosomes, the functions of the prokaryotic histone-like pro...
متن کاملFunctional evolution of bacterial histone-like HU proteins.
Bacterial histone-like HU proteins are critical to maintenance of the nucleoid structure. In addition, they participate in all DNA-dependent functions, including replication, repair, recombination and gene regulation. In these capacities, their function is typically architectural, inducing a specific DNA topology that promotes assembly of higher-order nucleo-protein structures. Although HU prot...
متن کاملStructure and function of bacterial dynamin-like proteins.
Membrane dynamics are essential for numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, membrane fusion and fission are often catalyzed by large GTPases of the dynamin protein family. These proteins couple GTP hydrolysis to membrane deformation, which eventually leads to fusion or fission of the lipid bilayer. Mutations in eukaryotic dynamin-like proteins (DLPs...

متن کاملHistone-like proteins of the dinoflagellate Crypthecodinium cohnii have homologies to bacterial DNA-binding proteins.
The dinoflagellates have very large genomes encoded in permanently condensed and histoneless chromosomes. Sequence alignment identified significant similarity between the dinoflagellate chromosomal histone-like proteins of Crypthecodinium cohnii (HCCs) and the bacterial DNA-binding and the eukaryotic histone H1 proteins. Phylogenetic analysis also supports the origin of the HCCs from histone-li...
