Regulation of the Chlamydia trachomatis Histone H1-Like Protein Hc2 Is IspE Dependent and IhtA Independent

ABSTRACT The chlamydial histone-like proteins, Hc1 and Hc2, function as global regulators of chromatin structure and gene expression. Hc1 and Hc2 expression and activity are developmentally regulated. A small metabolite that disrupts Hc1 interaction with DNA also disrupts Hc2 interactions; however, the small regulatory RNA that inhibits Hc1 translation is specific to Hc1.
