Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I copurifies with Tn5 transposase, and Tn5 transposase inhibits topoisomerase I.
Tn5 transposase (Tnp) overproduction is lethal to Escherichia coli. Genetic evidence suggested that this killing involves titration of E. coli topoisomerase I (Topo I). Here, we present biochemical evidence that supports this model. Tn5 Tnp copurifies with Topo I while nonkilling derivatives of Tnp, Delta37Tnp and Delta55Tnp (Inhibitor [Inh]), show reduced affinity or no affinity, respectively,...
متن کاملEscherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I and suppression of killing by Tn5 transposase overproduction: topoisomerase I modulates Tn5 transposition.
Tn5 transposase (Tnp) overproduction is lethal to Escherichia coli. The overproduction causes cell filamentation and abnormal chromosome segregation. Here we present three lines of evidence strongly suggesting that Tnp overproduction killing is due to titration of topoisomerase I. First, a suppressor mutation of transposase overproduction killing, stkD10, is localized in topA (the gene for topo...
متن کاملVaccinia DNA topoisomerase I promotes illegitimate recombination in Escherichia coli.
Vaccinia virus encapsidates a Mr 32,000 type IDNA topoisomerase. Although the vaccinia gene encoding the topoisomerase is essential for virus growth, the role of the enzyme in vivo remains unclear. In the present study, the physiologic consequences of vaccinia topoisomerase action have been examined in a heterologous system, Escherichia coli. The vaccinia topoisomerase gene was inducibly expres...
متن کاملExpression of yeast DNA topoisomerase I can complement a conditional-lethal DNA topoisomerase I mutation in Escherichia coli.
We show that, despite differences in primary structure, substrate preference, and mechanism of catalysis, yeast DNA topoisomerase I can functionally substitute for Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I. A family of plasmids expressing the yeast TOP1 gene or 5'-deletion mutations of it were used to complement the temperature-sensitive phenotype of an E. coli topA mutant. These plasmids were then ...
متن کاملBacillus cereus DNA topoisomerase I and IIIα: purification, characterization and complementation of Escherichia coli TopoIII activity
The Bacillus cereus genome possesses three type IA topoisomerase genes. These genes, encoding DNA topoisomerase I and IIIalpha (bcTopo I, bcTopo IIIalpha), have been cloned into T7 RNA polymerase-regulated plasmid expression vectors and the enzymes have been overexpressed, purified and characterized. The proteins exhibit similar biochemical activity to their Escherichia coli counterparts, DNA t...
