| UniProt functional annotation for Q97ZF4 | |||
| UniProt code: Q97ZF4. |
| Organism: | Saccharolobus solfataricus (strain ATCC 35092 / DSM 1617 / JCM 11322 / P2) (Sulfolobus solfataricus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Saccharolobus. | |
| 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. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250}. | |
| 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}. | |
