The Conformation of the N-Terminal Tails of <i>Deinococcus grandis</i> Dps Is Modulated by the Ionic Strength

The Conformation of the N-Terminal Tails of <i>Deinococcus grandis</i> Dps Is Modulated by the Ionic Strength

DNA-binding proteins from starved cells (Dps) are homododecameric nanocages, with N- and C-terminal tail extensions of variable length and amino acid composition. They accumulate iron in the form of a ferrihydrite mineral core and are capable of binding to and compacting DNA, forming low- and high-o...
