DESCRIPTION

Also known as HARA_PYRHO, PHS051. Binds and compact DNA (95 to 150 base pairs) to form nucleosome-like structures that contain positive DNA supercoils. Increases the resistance of DNA to thermal denaturation (By similarity). Homodimer (PubMed:12527306). Dimers then assemble into higher oligomers, with the DNA wrapped around the protein core (By similarity).
