Identification and characterization of the Hfq bacterial amyloid region DNA interactions
Nucleic acid amyloid proteins interactions have been observed in the past few years. These interactions often promote protein aggregation. Nevertheless, molecular basis and physiological consequences of these interactions are still poorly understood. Additionally, it is unknown whether the nucleic a...

Nucleic acid amyloid proteins interactions have been observed in the past few years. These interactions often promote protein aggregation.

Here we focus our attention on a bacterial amyloid, Hfq. This protein is a pleiotropic bacterial regulator that mediates many aspects of nucleic acids metabolism.
