Archaeal Chromatin Proteins Cren7 and Sul7d Compact DNA by Bending and Bridging

ABSTRACT Archaeal chromatin proteins Cren7 and Sul7d from Sulfolobus are DNA benders. To better understand their architectural roles in chromosomal DNA organization, we analyzed DNA compaction by Cren7 and Sis7d, a Sul7d family member, from Sulfolobus islandicus at the single-molecule (SM) level by...
