UniProtKB description: A highly abundant chromatin protein, it binds double-stranded DNA without sequence specificity; there is approximately 1 Cren7 molecule for 10-12 bp of DNA (PubMed:18096617, PubMed:20512977, PubMed:35728637, PubMed:35920727, PubMed:37016575). Constrains negative DNA supercoils (PubMed:18096617, PubMed:35728637). Induces DNA compaction and mediates intermolecular DNA bridging (PubMed:35728637). Binding does not require protein methylation (PubMed:18096617). Binds single-stranded DNA weakly (PubMed:18096617). Increases DNA stability against thermal denaturation (PubMed:18096617, PubMed:35920727, PubMed:37016575). Promotes formation of loose nucleoprotein structures with long DNA in the presence of albA proteins (PubMed:35454068).
