Gene Information
Escherichia coli K12 ... gyrA(946614) , gyrB(948211)
Application
DNA gyrase from Escherichia coli has been used in a study to investigate a comparative proteomic approach to better define Deinococcus nucleoid specificities. DNA gyrase from Escherichia coli has also been used in a study to investigate the role of the DnaK-ClpB bichaperone system in DNA gyrase reactivation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
DNA gyrase is supplied as an A2B2 holoenzyme. The molecular mass of subunit A is 97 kDa and that of subunit B is 90 kDa. It catalyzes the ATP-dependent introduction of negative supercoils into relaxed DNA. DNA gyrase has been successfully converted into a type II topoisomerase by mutagenesis experiments.
Can be used to supercoil plasmids.
Unit Definition
One unit of gyrase activity will supercoil 0.5 micrograms of pBR-322 DNA in 30 minutes at 37 °C.

DNA gyrase is unique among topoisomerases in its ability to introduce negative supercoils into closed-circular DNA. We have demonstrated that deletion of the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of the A subunit of gyrase gives rise to an enzyme that cannot supercoil

Fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance is emerging in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The main mechanism of FQ resistance is amino acid substitution within the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase, the sole FQ target in M. tuberculosis. However, substitutions

Compared to radiation-sensitive bacteria, the nucleoids of radiation-resistant Deinococcus species show a higher degree of compaction. Such a condensed nucleoid may contribute to the extreme radiation resistance of Deinococcus by limiting dispersion of radiation-induced DNA fragments. Architectural proteins may play

In Escherichia coli cells, an increase in temperature induces immediate DNA relaxation, followed by the fast recovery of DNA supercoiling. DNA gyrase, proteins synthesized during heat stress, and chaperone DnaK have been proposed to participate in this recovery. However, the
