Bacillus subtilis DNA gyrase: purification of subunits and reconstitution of supercoiling activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA gyrase from Bacillus subtilis 168 was purified by affinity chromatography on novobiocin-Sepharose and shown to consist of two subunits, A and B, with molecular weights of 100,000 and 85,000, respectively. The B subunits, which contains novobiocin-sensitive. ATPase activity, could complement the gyrA protein of Escherichia coli. No complementation was detected between the A subunit and the E. coli gyrB protein.

Differential and dynamic localization of topoisomerases in Bacillus subtilis.
Visualization of topoisomerases in live Bacillus subtilis cells showed that Topo I, Topo IV, and DNA gyrase differentially localize on the nucleoids but are absent at cytosolic spaces surrounding the nucleoids, suggesting that these topoisomerases interact with many regions of the chromosome. While both subunits of Topo IV were uniformly distributed throughout the nucleoids, Topo I and gyrase f...
متن کاملExpression and purification of an active form of the Mycobacterium leprae DNA gyrase and its inhibition by quinolones.
Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, is noncultivable in vitro; therefore, evaluation of antibiotic activity against M. leprae relies mainly upon the mouse footpad system, which requires at least 12 months before the results become available. We have developed an in vitro assay for studying the activities of quinolones against the DNA gyrase of M. leprae. We overexpressed in Es...
متن کاملRapid purification of HU protein from Halobacillus karajensis
The histone-like protein HU is the most-abundant DNA-binding protein in bacteria. The HU protein non-specifically binds and bends DNA as a hetero- or homodimer, and can participate in DNA supercoiling and DNA condensation. It also takes part in DNA functions such as replication, recombination, and repair. HU does not recognize any specific sequences but shows a certain degree of specificity to ...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase: interaction with quinolones and correlation with antimycobacterial drug activity.
Genome studies suggest that DNA gyrase is the sole type II topoisomerase and likely the unique target of quinolones in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Despite the emerging importance of quinolones in the treatment of mycobacterial disease, the slow growth and high pathogenicity of M. tuberculosis have precluded direct purification of its gyrase and detailed analysis of quinolone action. To address ...
متن کاملPurification and properties of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase from Bacillus subtilis vegetative cells.
A purification procedure to prepare highly purified DNA-dependent RNA polymerase from Bacillus subtilis vegetative cells is described. The enzyme consists of four different subunits, /?’, /?, (T and 01 (molecular weights 154000 for B’ and /?, 56000 for (T and 43000 for 01) in a molar ratio 1 : 1 : I : 2. By phosphocellulose chromatography RNA polymerase has been disscociated in (T subunit and c...
