Purification and characterization of recombinant Staphylococcus haemolyticus DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV expressed in Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subunits of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV from Staphylococcus haemolyticus were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and used to reconstitute active enzymes that were sensitive to known topoisomerase inhibitors. This represents the first description of a method for isolating type II topoisomerases of a coagulase-negative staphylococcal species.

DNA cleavage activities of Staphylococcus aureus gyrase and topoisomerase IV stimulated by quinolones and 2-pyridones.
We have cloned Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and expressed them in Escherichia coli as polyhistidine-tagged proteins to facilitate purification and eliminate contamination by host enzymes. The enzyme preparations had specific activities similar to previously reported values. Potassium glutamate (K-Glu) stimulated the drug-induced DNA cleavage activity and was optimal bet...
متن کاملStreptococcus pneumoniae DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV: overexpression, purification, and differential inhibition by fluoroquinolones.
Streptococcus pneumoniae gyrA and gyrB genes specifying the DNA gyrase subunits have been cloned into pET plasmid vectors under the control of an inducible T7 promoter and have been separately expressed in Escherichia coli. Soluble 97-kDa GyrA and 72-kDa GyrB proteins bearing polyhistidine tags at their respective C-terminal and N-terminal ends were purified to apparent homogeneity by one-step ...
متن کاملInhibition of DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by aminocoumarin antibiotics.
OBJECTIVES Aminocoumarin antibiotics are potent inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase. We investigated the inhibitory and antibacterial activity of naturally occurring aminocoumarin antibiotics and six structural analogues (novclobiocins) against DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as well as the effect of potassium and sodium glutamate on the activi...
متن کاملTarget specificity of the new fluoroquinolone besifloxacin in Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
OBJECTIVES Besifloxacin is a new fluoroquinolone in development for ocular use. We investigated its mode of action and resistance in two major ocular pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus, and in the reference species Escherichia coli. METHODS Primary and secondary targets of besifloxacin were evaluated by: (i) mutant selection experiments; (ii) MIC testing of defined ...
متن کاملAntibacterial activities and inhibitory effects of sitafloxacin (DU-6859a) and its optical isomers against type II topoisomerases.
The in vitro inhibitory effects of sitafloxacin (DU-6859a) and its three stereoisomers on bacterial DNA gyrase from Escherichia coli, topoisomerase IV from Staphylococcus aureus, and topoisomerase II from human placenta were compared. No correlation was observed between the inhibitory activities of quinolones against bacterial type II topoisomerases and those against human topoisomerase II. Sit...
