Some bacteria have proteins much like ours that organise their DNA. Biochemists from @DameLab & the @MPI_Bio reveal this in a new paper. Their work helps us better understand evolution & how bacteria organise their DNA. Read: universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2024/0… @Vikram_Alva @SammyBoterhammy

Delving deeper, we used DAP-seq to reveal that HBb binds along the entire genomic DNA of B. bacteriovorus without sequence specificity. The wonders of bacterial histones continue to unfold! Dive into our manuscript for more details: 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🔬New insights on bacterial histones! 🧬 Our study, led by Yimin Hu & @SammyBoterhammy, shows that in Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, HBb bends DNA uniquely, differently from eukaryotic & archaeal histones. Great collaboration with Birte Hernandez, @DameLab. @MPIBio @LeidenScienceEN
