General Information
Term H-NS complex ID (Ontology) GO:1990121 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A multimer of H-NS proteins that is involved in bacterial nucleoid condensation and negative regulation of global gene expression by directly binding to promoter regions. Recognizes both structural and sequence-specific motifs in double-stranded DNA and has binding preference for bent DNA.[ PubMed:12592399 ]
Also Known As "DNA-binding protein H-NS complex" ; "histone-like protein H-NS complex"
