==Function== | |||
'''Gyrase (Gyr)''' is a type of topoisomerase II in prokaryotes which unwinds double stranded DNA. The DNA Gyr cutting allows the formation of a negative DNA supercoil which enables replication of DNA<ref>PMID:1657531</ref> Gyr consists of 2 subunits: GyrA and GyrB. '''Reverse gyrase''' (Top-RG) is a type of topoisomerase I which catalyses the formation of positive DNA supercoil. <ref>PMID:15673717</ref> See also [[Isomerases]]. | |||
==Relevance== | |||
GyrA inhibitor [[Ciprofloxacin]] is used as antibiotic drug. Fluoroquinolones are Gyr inhibitors used in treatment of multi drug-resistant tuberculosis<ref>PMID:15047530</ref> | |||
