Integration host factor (IHF) is a DNA-bending protein that recognizes its cognate sites through indirect readout. Previous studies have shown that binding of wild-type (WT)-IHF is disrupted by a T to A mutation at the center position of a conserved TTR motif in its binding site, and that substitution of betaGlu44 with Ala prevented IHF from discriminating between A and T at this position ...
