Abstract excerpt
In order to define regions of ParE, one of the two subunits of topoisomerase IV, that are involved in catalysis during topoisomerization, we developed a selection procedure to isolate dominant-negative parE alleles. Both wild-type parC and mutagenized parE were expressed from a tightly-regulated lac promoter on a moderate-copy plasmid. Mutated parE alleles were rescued from those plasmids that caused...
