GR122222X is a potent inhibitor of the supercoiling reaction of bacterial DNA gyrase. We show that this compound binds stoichiometrically to inactivate the ATPase activity of a 43-kDa N-terminal fragment of the B subunit and competitively inhibits the binding of a radiolabelled coumarin drug to N-terminal fragments of GyrB. These and other data suggest that GR122222X has a mode of action similar, but not identical, to that of coumarin antibiotics.
GR122222X是细菌DNA促旋酶超螺旋反应的强效抑制剂。我们发现该化合物以化学计量方式结合,使B亚基43 kDa N端片段的ATP酶活性失活,并竞争性抑制放射性标记香豆素药物与GyrB N端片段的结合。这些及其他数据表明,GR122222X的作用模式与香豆素类抗生素相似,但并不完全相同。
