    Abstract Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are architectural proteins of the bacterial chromosome and transcription factors that dynamically organise the chromosome and regulate gene expression in response to physicochemical environmental signals. While the architectural and regulatory functions of NAPs have been verified independently, the coupling between these functions in vivo has not been conclusively proven. Here we describe a model NAP - histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) - as a coupled sensor-effector that directly regulates gene expression by chromatin re-modelling in response to physicochemical environmental signals. We outline how H-NS-binding partners and post-translational modifications modulate the role of H-NS as a transcription factor by influencing its DNA structuring properties. We consolidate our ideas in models of how H-NS may regulate the expression of the proVWX and hlyCABD operons by chromatin re-modelling. The interplay between chromosome structure and gene expression may be a common - but, at present, under-appreciated - concept of transcription regulation in bacteria.

    Abstract Bacterial genomes are folded and organized into compact yet dynamic structures, called nucleoids. Nucleoid orchestration involves many factors at multiple length scales, such as nucleoid-associated proteins and liquid-liquid phase separation, and has to be compatible with replication and transcription. Possibly, genome organization plays an intrinsic role in transcription regulation, in addition to classical transcription factors. In this review, we provide arguments supporting this view using the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis as a model. Proteins BsSMC, HBsu and Rok all impact the structure of the B. subtilis chromosome. Particularly for Rok, there is compelling evidence that it combines its structural function with a role as global gene regulator. Many studies describe either function of Rok, but rarely both are addressed at the same time. Here, we review both sides of the coin and integrate them into one model. Rok forms unusually stable DNA-DNA bridges and this ability likely underlies its repressive effect on transcription by either preventing RNA polymerase from binding to DNA or trapping it inside DNA loops. Partner proteins are needed to change or relieve Rok-mediated gene repression. Lastly, we investigate which features characterize H-NS-like proteins, a family that, at present, lacks a clear definition.

    Abstract The three-dimensional structure of the chromosome is encoded within its sequence and regulates activities such as replication and transcription. This necessitates the study of the spatial organization of the chromosome in relation to the underlying sequence. Chromosome conformation capture (3C) techniques are proximity ligation-based approaches that simplify the three-dimensional architecture of the chromosome into a one-dimensional library of hybrid ligation junctions. Deciphering the information contained in these libraries resolves chromosome architecture in a sequence-specific manner. This chapter describes the preparation of 3C libraries for bacteria and archaea. It details how the three-dimensional architecture of local chromatin can be extracted from the 3C library using qPCR (3C-qPCR), and it summarizes the processing of 3C libraries for next-generation sequencing (3C-Seq) for a study of global chromosome organization.

    Abstract Architectural DNA-binding proteins are involved in many important DNA transactions by virtue of their ability to change DNA conformation. Histone-like protein from E. coli strain U93, HU, is one of the most studied bacterial architectural DNA-binding proteins. Nevertheless, there is still a limited understanding of how the interactions between HU and DNA are affected by ionic conditions and the structure of DNA. Here, using optical tweezers in combination with fluorescent confocal imaging, we investigated how ionic conditions affect the interaction between HU and DNA. We directly visualized the binding and the diffusion of fluorescently labelled HU dimers on DNA. HU binds with high affinity and exhibits low mobility on the DNA in the absence of Mg

    Abstract In archaea, histones play a role in genome compaction and are involved in transcription regulation. Whereas archaeal histones bind DNA without sequence specificity, they bind preferentially to DNA containing repeats of alternating A/T and G/C motifs. These motifs are also present on the artificial sequence "Clone20," a high-affinity model sequence for binding of the histones from
