Interaction between DNA gyrase and its cleavage site on DNA.
DNA gyrase negatively supercoils DNA. When the requisite breaking and resealing of the DNA are uncoupled by gyrase inhibitors, the DNA becomes cleaved at specific sites. ATP, the cofactor for supercoiling, changes the sites of DNA cleavage. The mechanism of this effect was studied at sites in ColEl and @X174 DNA at which ATP strikingly enhanced cleavage. The following results showed that this i...
متن کاملSite-specific interaction of DNA gyrase with DNA.
DNA gyrase, in the presence of the inhibitor oxolinic acid, can induce double-strand DNA breakage at specific sites. The sequences at several sites have been determined. In addition, the structure of complexes formed between DNA gyrase and restriction fragments containing an oxolinic acid-promoted cleavage site has been examined by DNase protection methods. DNA gyrase protects more than 120 bas...

15 صفحه اولDNA gyrase subunit stoichiometry and the covalent attachment of subunit A to DNA during DNA cleavage.
Escherichia coli DNA gyrase contains a 1:1 ratio of protomers coded by the genes gyrA and gyrB. This along with previous results shows that the enzyme has two copies of each protomer and thus a molecular weight of 400,000. Abortion of the gyrase reaction results in double-strand breakage of the DNA and covalent attachment of both gyrA protomers to the 5'-cut ends. We conclude that the gyrA prot...
متن کاملArchaebacterial reverse gyrase cleavage-site specificity is similar to that of eubacterial DNA topoisomerases I.
ATP-dependent type I topoisomerases from extremely thermophilic archaebacteria--reverse gyrases--drive positive supercoiling of DNA. We showed that reverse gyrase from Desulfurococcus amylolyticus breaks the DNA at specific sites and covalently binds to the 5' end. In 30 out of 31 sites located in pBR322 DNA fragments, cleavage occurs at the sequence 5'---CNNN/---(N is any base). The same rule ...
