Abstract: A new single-molecule approach is used to examine how a nucleoid-associated protein, H-NS, functions. H-NS sits between the two DNA molecules and is aligned along the helical pitch. H-NS does not act as a barrier to RNA polymerase, and its cooperative binding ensures that H-NS is dynamic enough to accommodate the movement of DNA-associated motor proteins, but stable enough to maintain DNA loops.
