In molecular biology, the histone-like nucleoid-structuring (H-NS) protein belongs to a family of bacterial proteins that play a role in the formation of nucleoid structure and affect gene expression under certain conditions.[1] The protein has a homologue that is encoded by many large, conjugative plasmids.[2]
