An enzymatic activity which converts closed circular DNA into a positively supercoiled form is present in cellular extracts of Sulfolobus, an acidothermophilic archaebacterium. This novel enzyme is a type II DNA topoisomerase and is active only at temperatures greater than 55 degrees C, in the presence of ATP and Mg2+.
嗜酸嗜热古细菌硫磺叶菌的细胞提取物中存在一种能将闭环DNA转化为正超螺旋形式的酶活性。这种新型酶是一种II型DNA拓扑异构酶,仅在ATP和Mg2+存在的情况下,于温度高于55摄氏度时具有活性。
