This article provides key insight into the function of H-NS in pathogenesis and, less understood, gene silencing of Shigella spp. It contains an overview of the virF cascade caused by H-NS becoming dissociated from the bacterial DNA which is important for those researching the start of the cascade, and a collection of different proposals of H-NS mediated silencing implicated in the regulation of virF. This article also provides the temperature at which we can observe bound and unbound states of H-NS to DNA—30°C bound and 37°C unbound. They propose that phosphorylation of H-NS and its family of proteins might be post-translational modifications that regulate interactions and silencing of bacterial DNA and that H-NS could be a potential target for antibacterial treatments because of severe growth deficits seen in some bacterial species.
