We report the cloning of the gyrB gene from Streptococcus pneumoniae 533 that carries the nov-1 allele. The gyrB gene codes for a protein homologous to the gyrase B subunit of archaebacteria and eubacteria. The same amino acid substitution (Ser-127 to Leu) confers novobiocin resistance on four isolates of S. pneumoniae. This amino acid position is equivalent to Val-120 of Escherichia coli GyrB, a residue that lies inside the ATP-binding domain as revealed by the crystal structure of the protein.
我们报道了从携带nov-1等位基因的肺炎链球菌533中克隆gyrB基因。gyrB基因编码一种与古细菌和真细菌的gyrase B亚基同源的蛋白质。相同的氨基酸取代(丝氨酸127突变为亮氨酸)赋予了四株肺炎链球菌新霉素抗性。该氨基酸位置等同于大肠杆菌GyrB的缬氨酸120,蛋白质晶体结构显示该残基位于ATP结合域内。
