Archaeal Chromatin Proteins Cren7 and Sul7d Compact DNA by Bending and Bridging
A long-standing question is how chromosomal DNA is packaged in Crenarchaeota, a major group of archaea, which synthesize large amounts of unique small DNA-binding proteins but in general contain no archaeal histones. In the present work, we tested our hypothesis that the two well-studied crenarchaea...
