BACKGROUND DNA topoisomerases are enzymes that control the topology of DNA in all cells. DNA gyrase is unique among the topoisomerases in that it is the only enzyme that can actively supercoil DNA using the free energy of ATP hydrolysis. Until recently gyrase was thought to be unique to bacteria, but has now been discovered in plants. The genome of the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is pred...

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 ...

conclusions this study indicates that satureja khuzestaniea essence has inhibitory effects on the gene expression of antibiotic resistance in bla-oxa-23 that has a high mic. given that this essence has a good inhibitory effect on gene expression in mdr acinetobacter baumannii and bla-oxa-23, the results indicate that it could be used as a natural way to prevent the growth of acinetobacter bauma...

Reverse gyrase is a DNA topoisomerase that is peculiar in many aspects: it has the unique ability to introduce positive supercoils into DNA molecules; it comprises a type IA topoisomerase fused to a helicase-like domain; although it is a type IA topoisomerase, its reaction is ATP-dependent; and it is the only hyperthermophile-specific protein. All these features have made reverse gyrase the sub...

Bacterial DNA gyrase is a well-established and validated target for the development of novel antibacterials. Starting from the available structural information about the binding of the natural product inhibitor, clorobiocin, we identified a novel series of 4'-methyl-N(2)-phenyl-[4,5'-bithiazole]-2,2'-diamine inhibitors of gyrase B with a low micromolar inhibitory activity by implementing a two-...

Escherichia coli stationary-phase (SP) cells contain relaxed DNA molecules and recover DNA supercoiling once nutrients become available. In these cells, the reactivation of DNA gyrase, which is a DNA topoisomerase type IIA enzyme, is responsible for the recovery of DNA supercoiling. The results presented in this study show that DNA gyrase reactivation does not require cellular chaperones or pol...

New antibacterials are needed to tackle antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Type IIA topoisomerases (topo2As), the targets of fluoroquinolones, regulate DNA topology by creating transient double-strand DNA breaks. Here we report the first co-crystal structures of the antibacterial QPT-1 and the anticancer drug etoposide with Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase, showing binding at the same sites in the ...

The uptakes of norfloxacin by quinolone-resistant and -susceptible strains of Serratia marcescens were almost the same and 50% inhibitory concentrations for DNA gyrase and the MICs of quinolones were correlated, suggesting that DNA gyrase alterations are the basis of quinolone resistance.

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...

OBJECTIVES In order to search for novel antibacterial compounds we used a previously developed screening strain designed specifically to discover inhibitors of the bacterial initiator protein, DnaA. This strain (SF53) is not viable at 30 degrees C due to overinitiation. Therefore, compounds that are able to restore growth to SF53 cells are likely to cause either partial or complete inhibition o...
