Mutations of the Escherichia coli or Salmonella typhimurium supX genes eliminated deoxyribonucleic acid topoisomerase I. Suppression of a supX amber mutation partially restored the topoisomerase. Multicopy plasmids carrying supX+ caused overproduction of topoisomerase. Thus, these supX genes were identified as topA genes which specify deoxyribonucleic acid topoisomerase I.
大肠杆菌或鼠伤寒沙门氏菌supX基因的突变消除了脱氧核糖核酸拓扑异构酶I。对supX琥珀突变的抑制部分恢复了拓扑异构酶。携带supX+的多拷贝质粒导致拓扑异构酶过量产生。因此,这些supX基因被鉴定为指定脱氧核糖核酸拓扑异构酶I的topA基因。
