Abstract
DNA binding proteins under starvation (Dps) are proteins belonging to the ferritin family with the capacity for DNA binding, in addition to iron storage and ferroxidation. Present only in the prokaryotes, these multifaceted proteins have been assigned with a number of roles, from pathogenesis to nucleoid condensation and protection. They have a significant role in protecting the cells from free radical assaults, indirectly by sequestration of iron and by directly binding to the DNA. Due to their symmetry, stability and biomineralization capacity, these proteins have ever increasing potential applications in biotechnology and drug delivery. This chapter tries to bring together all these aspects of Dps in the view of current understanding and older perspectives by studies of our group as well as other experts in the field.
