Treatment of Escherichia coli cells harboring pBR322 with the DNA gyrase inhibitors oxolinic acid and coumermycin A1 led to an increase in the content of knotted pBR322 molecules. This phenomenon was attributed to inhibition of gyrase-catalyzed unknotting of the plasmid DNA knotted by transcription.
用DNA回旋酶抑制剂恶喹酸和香豆霉素A1处理携带pBR322的大肠杆菌细胞,导致打结的pBR322分子含量增加。这种现象归因于回旋酶催化的由转录造成的质粒DNA解结受到抑制。
