DNA Gyrase: Structure and Function
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991DNA gyrase is an essential bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent negative super-coiling of double-stranded closed-circular DNA. Gyrase belongs to a class of enzymes known as topoisomerases that are involved in the control of topological transitions of DNA.

Since the action of the two major classes of gyrase inhibitor, the coumarins and the quinolones, differ mechanistically, their primary physiological effects are described separately. These discussions include aspects of inhibition of eukaryotic topoisomerases to facilitate a comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. We then address the repair

A Comprehensive Review on DNA Gyrase Inhibitors
Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets, 2021The newly emerging infectious organisms, the global crisis in antibiotic resistance, and the threat of bioterrorism create an urgent need to discover novel antimicrobial agents. In order to develop novel antimicrobial agents, the mechanism of infectious disease must be better understood.

DNA supercoiling by DNA gyrase
Cell Biophysics, 1988Using purified DNA gyrase to supercoil circular plasmid pBR322 DNA, we examined how the linking number attained at the steady state ('static head') varies with the concentrations of ATP and ADP, both in the absence and presence of spermidine. In the absence of spermidine at total adenine nucleotide concentrations between 0.35 and 1.4 mM, the static ...

DNA Gyrase and the Supercoiling of DNA
Science, 1980Negative supercoiling of bacterial DNA by DNA gyrase influences all metabolic processes involving DNA and is essential for replication. Gyrase supercoils DNA by a mechanism called sign inversion, whereby a positive supercoil is directly inverted to a negative one by passing a DNA segment through a transient double-strand break.
