| Research Abstract |
The genomic DNA in bacteria is packed into cells as nucleoid, which is composed of genomic DNA, RNAs and proteins. I focused on the regulatory mechanism of the nucleoid structure because its dynamics is closely related to the essential biological processes such as transcription, translation, replication etc. In the present study, I found i) nucleoid structures are sustained by nascent single stranded RNA, ii) the proteins involved in the nucleoid is highly varied in species-specific and environmental-specific manners.
