Factor for inversion stimulation proteinMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : factor for inversion stimulation protein;
MeSH definition : A highly abundant DNA binding protein whose expression is strongly correlated with
the growth phase of bacteria. The protein plays a role in regulating DNA topology
and activation of RIBOSOMAL RNA transcription. It was originally identified as a factor
required for inversion stimulation by the Hin recombinase of SALMONELLA and Gin site-specific
recombinase of BACTERIOPHAGE MU.;
