UniProt functional annotation for O28323

UniProt code: O28323.

Organism: Archaeoglobus fulgidus (strain ATCC 49558 / VC-16 / DSM 4304 / JCM 9628 / NBRC 100126).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Archaeoglobi; Archaeoglobales; Archaeoglobaceae; Archaeoglobus.
 
Function: Binds double-stranded DNA tightly but without sequence specificity. It is distributed uniformly and abundantly on the chromosome, suggesting a role in chromatin architecture. However, it does not significantly compact DNA. Binds rRNA and mRNA in vivo. May play a role in maintaining the structural and functional stability of RNA, and, perhaps, ribosomes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Homotetramer.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. Chromosome {ECO:0000305}.
Ptm: Acetylated. Deacetylation by the SIR2-homolog deacetylase may regulate its activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the histone-like Alba family. {ECO:0000305}.
