To hold bacterial DNA in a more compact configuration, specific proteins must bind to the DNA and stabilize its conformation. Several different proteins are involved in this process. Some of these proteins, such as H-NS, have been referred to as histone-like, because of their functional similarity to the histone proteins found in eukaryotes.Based on your knowledge of eukaryotic histone proteins, what biochemical properties would you expect bacterial histone-like proteins to have?
