Structural highlights
Function
[GYRB_STAAU] DNA gyrase negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner and also catalyzes the interconversion of other topological isomers of double-stranded DNA rings, including catenanes and knotted rings.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01898]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Bacterial DNA gyrase is an attractive target for the investigation of new antibacterial agents. Inhibitors of the GyrB subunit, which contains the ATP-binding site, are described in this communication. Novel, substituted 5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)thiazole compounds were identified as inhibitors of bacterial gyrase. Structure-guided optimization led to greater enzymatic potency and moderate antibacterial potency. Data are presented for the demonstration of selective enzyme inhibition of Escherichia coli GyrB over Staphylococcus aureus GyrB.
