Crystal structure of Cren7-dsDNA complex
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 20345658
Function
[CREN7_SULSO] A highly abundant probable chromatin protein, it binds double-strand DNA without sequence specificity; there is approximately 1 Cren7 molecule for 12 bp of DNA. Constrains negative DNA supercoils, increases DNA stability against thermal denaturation. Binding does not require protein methylation. Binds single-strand DNA weakly.[1]
