The antimicrobial agent, 6-(p-hydroxyphenylazo)-uracil, specifically inhibits DNA polymerase III of Bacillus subtilis with a K(i) of less than 1 muM. The inhibition requires prior reduction of the drug, is reversible, and is competitive with dGTP. High amounts of dATP prevent inhibition by the closely related drug, 6-(p-hydroxyphenylazo)-isocytosine. A model is presented in which the inhibitors base-pair with the template while part of a ternary complex with the enzyme. These results imply that DNA polymerase III of B. subtilis is necessary for chromosomal replication.
抗菌剂6 - (对羟基苯基偶氮)尿嘧啶能特异性抑制枯草芽孢杆菌的DNA聚合酶III,其抑制常数(K(i))小于1微摩尔。这种抑制作用需要药物预先还原,是可逆的,并且与dGTP具有竞争性。高浓度的dATP可防止密切相关的药物6 - (对羟基苯基偶氮)异胞嘧啶产生抑制作用。本文提出了一个模型,其中抑制剂在与酶形成三元复合物的同时与模板进行碱基配对。这些结果表明,枯草芽孢杆菌的DNA聚合酶III对染色体复制是必需的。
