Crystal structure of the 43K ATPase domain of Thermus thermophilus gyrase B in complex with an aminocoumarin
Structural highlights
Function[GYRB_THET8] A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner (PubMed:23804759, PubMed:11850422). It probably also catalyzes the interconversion of other topological isomers of double-stranded DNA rings, including catenanes (PubMed:11850422). Relaxes negatively supercoiled DNA in an ATP-independent manner (PubMed:23804759, PubMed:11850422). At comparable concentrations T.thermophilus gyrase does not introduce as many negative supercoils into DNA as the E.coli enzyme (PubMed:23804759).[1] Negative supercoiling favors strand separation, and DNA replication, transcription, recombination and repair, all of which involve strand separation. Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner. Publication Abstract from PubMedCoumermycin A1 is a natural aminocoumarin that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, a member of the GHKL proteins superfamily. We report here the first cocrystal structures of gyrase B bound to coumermycin A1, revealing that one coumermycin A1 molecule traps simultaneously two ATP-binding sites. The inhibited dimers from different species adopt distinct sequence-dependent conformations, alternative to the ATP-bound form. These structures provide a basis for the rational development of coumermycin A1 derivatives for antibiotherapy and biotechnology applications.
