This study investigates how H-NS and StpA regulate gene expression in E. coli under acid and osmotic stress by analyzing transcription, DNA binding, and chromatin structure at specific operons.

This study shows that the archaeal histone HTkC forms highly compact DNA structures, doubling the compaction level of hypernucleosomes and highlighting its role in chromatin organization.

This study investigates how Mg2+ ions affect the structure and stability of hypernucleosomes formed by archaeal histones from T. kodakarensis, showing distinct effects compared to previously characterized histones.

This study presents the first cryo-EM structures of Asgard chromatin assemblies, revealing closed and open hypernucleosome conformations and their evolutionary implications.

The paper uses AlphaFold2 to classify prokaryotic histones into 17 groups and identifies a new histone superfamily that bridges DNA instead of wrapping it.
