Histones with an unconventional DNA-binding mode in vitro are major chromatin constituents in the bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus
Histone proteins bind DNA and organize the genomes of eukaryotes and most archaea, whereas bacteria rely on different nucleoid-associated proteins....

Structural basis of pH-dependent activation in a CLC transporter
CLCs are dimeric chloride channels and anion/proton exchangers that regulate processes such as muscle contraction and endo-lysosome acidification....
-
The structure of a virus-encoded nucleosome
Certain large DNA viruses, including those in the Marseilleviridae family, encode histones. Here we show that fused histone pairs Hβ-Hα and Hδ-Hγ...

Lice (Phthiraptera) diversity in ruminants and domestic birds in northeastern Algeria
Due to the traditional rearing conditions in Algerian farms, a broad panel of ectoparasites can infest ruminants and domestic birds. Among them, lice...
