The role of nucleoid‐associated proteins in the organization and compaction of bacterial chromatin

RT Dame - Molecular microbiology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The bacterial chromosomal DNA is folded into a compact structure called nucleoid. The
shape and size of this ‘body’ is determined by a number of factors. Major players are DNA …

The architectural role of nucleoid-associated proteins in the organization of bacterial chromatin: a molecular perspective

…, MC Noom, GJL Wuite, RT Dame - Journal of structural …, 2006 - Elsevier
The bacterial genome is folded into a compact structure called the nucleoid. Considerable
compaction of the DNA molecule is required in order to reduce its volume below that of the cell…

The major architects of chromatin: architectural proteins in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes

…, MF White, R Van Driel, RT Dame - Critical reviews in …, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
The genomic DNA of all organisms across the three kingdoms of life needs to be compacted
and functionally organized. Key players in these processes are DNA supercoiling, …

[PDF][PDF] CRISPR immunity relies on the consecutive binding and degradation of negatively supercoiled invader DNA by Cascade and Cas3

…, E Semenova, K Severinov, WM de Vos, RT Dame… - Molecular cell, 2012 - cell.com
The prokaryotic CRISPR/Cas immune system is based on genomic loci that contain incorporated
sequence tags from viruses and plasmids. Using small guide RNA molecules, these …

Bacterial chromatin organization by H-NS protein unravelled using dual DNA manipulation

RT Dame, MC Noom, GJL Wuite - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms contain DNA bridging proteins, which can have
regulatory or architectural functions 1 . The molecular and mechanical details of such …

Moltemplate: A tool for coarse-grained modeling of complex biological matter and soft condensed matter physics

…, M Maritan, SM Bashusqeh, T Keyes, RT Dame… - Journal of molecular …, 2021 - Elsevier
Coarse-grained models have long been considered indispensable tools in the investigation
of biomolecular dynamics and assembly. However, the process of simulating such models is …

H-NS mediated compaction of DNA visualised by atomic force microscopy

RT Dame, C Wyman, N Goosen - Nucleic acids research, 2000 - academic.oup.com
The Escherichia coli H-NS protein is a nucleoid-associated protein involved in gene regulation
and DNA compaction. To get more insight into the mechanism of DNA compaction we …

Dual architectural roles of HU: formation of flexible hinges and rigid filaments

…, N Goosen, C Dekker, RT Dame - Proceedings of the …, 2004 - National Acad Sciences
Dame and Goosen (7) argue in a recent review that glutaraldehyde cross-linking, necessary
for sample preparation, induced the nucleosome-like structures observed in early electron …

[HTML][HTML] Structural basis for H-NS-mediated trapping of RNA polymerase in the open initiation complex at the rrnB P1

RT Dame, C Wyman, R Wurm, R Wagner… - Journal of Biological …, 2002 - ASBMB
The Escherichia coli H-NS protein is a nucleoid-associated protein involved in both
transcription regulation and DNA compaction. Each of these processes involves H-NS-mediated …

Chromosome organization in bacteria: mechanistic insights into genome structure and function

RT Dame, FZM Rashid, DC Grainger - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2020 - nature.com
Bacterial chromosomes are folded to compact DNA and facilitate cellular processes. Studying
model bacteria has revealed aspects of chromosome folding that are applicable to many …
