Function
[A0A210GCC1_ECOLX] A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to modulate DNA topology and maintain chromosomes in an underwound state. Negative supercoiling favors strand separation, and DNA replication, transcription, recombination and repair, all of which involve strand separation. Also able to catalyze the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes and knotted rings. Type II topoisomerases break and join 2 DNA strands simultaneously in an ATP-dependent manner.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01898]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The global increase in multidrug-resistant pathogens has caused severe problems in the treatment of infections. To overcome these difficulties, the advent of a new chemical class of antibacterial drug is eagerly desired. We aimed at creating novel antibacterial agents against bacterial type II topoisomerases, which are well-validated targets. TP0480066 (compound 32) has been identified by using structure-based optimization originated from lead compound 1, which was obtained as a result of our previous lead identification studies. The MIC90 values of TP0480066 against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and genotype penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (gPRSP) were 0.25, 0.015, and 0.06 mug/mL, respectively. Hence, TP0480066 can be regarded as a promising antibacterial drug candidate of this chemical class.
