Protein Family Models

Lsr2 is a small, basic DNA-bridging protein present in Mycobacterium and related actinomycetes. It is a functional homologue of the H-NS-like proteins [1]. H-NS proteins play a role in nucleoid organisation and also function as a pleiotropic regulator of gene expression [1][2]. [1]. 18776007.
