DNA gyrase is a type II topoisomerase that is essential for chromosome segregation and cell division owing to its ability to modify the topological forms of bacterial DNA. In this study, the N-terminal fragment of the GyrB subunit of DNA gyrase from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 2.10 A resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystal belonged to space group I4(1), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 110.27, c = 70.75 A. The asymmetric unit contained one molecule, with a V(M) of 2.57 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 50.2%.
DNA促旋酶是一种II型拓扑异构酶,由于其能够改变细菌DNA的拓扑形式,对于染色体分离和细胞分裂至关重要。在本研究中,来自水稻黄单胞菌稻瘟病菌株的DNA促旋酶GyrB亚基的N端片段在大肠杆菌中过表达、纯化并结晶。使用同步辐射源收集了分辨率为2.10 Å的衍射数据。晶体属于空间群I4(1),晶胞参数a = b = 110.27,c = 70.75 Å。不对称单元包含一个分子,V(M)为2.57 ų Da⁻¹,溶剂含量为50.2%。
