The topoisomerase IV parC and parE genes from the wall-less organism Mycoplasma hominis PG21 were cloned and sequenced. The coupled genes are located far from the DNA gyrase genes gyrA and gyrB. They encode proteins of 639 and 866 amino acids, respectively. As expected, the encoded ParE and ParC proteins exhibit higher homologies with the topoisomerase IV subunits of the gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae than with their Escherichia coli counterparts. The conserved regions include the Tyr residue of the active site and the region involved in quinolone resistance (quinolone resistance-determining region [QRDR]) in ParC and the ATP-binding site and the QRDR in ParE.
对无细胞壁的人型支原体PG21的拓扑异构酶IV的parC和parE基因进行了克隆和测序。这两个耦合基因的位置远离DNA促旋酶基因gyrA和gyrB。它们分别编码含639个和866个氨基酸的蛋白质。正如预期的那样,所编码的ParE和ParC蛋白与革兰氏阳性菌金黄色葡萄球菌和肺炎链球菌的拓扑异构酶IV亚基的同源性高于与大肠杆菌对应亚基的同源性。保守区域包括ParC中活性位点的Tyr残基和参与喹诺酮耐药性的区域(喹诺酮耐药决定区[QRDR])以及ParE中的ATP结合位点和QRDR。
