Integration host factor subunit alpha

UniProtKB accession:  P0A6X7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of the 2 subunits of integration host factor (IHF), a specific DNA-binding protein that functions in genetic recombination as well as in transcriptional and translational control. Binds to hundreds of transcriptionally inactive, AT-rich DNA sites, approximately half its binding sites are in non-coding DNA, which only accounts for about 10% of the genome (PubMed:16963779).
