Abstract excerpt
Gyrase is an essential topoisomerase in bacteria that introduces negative supercoils in DNA and relaxes the positive supercoils that form downstream of proteins tracking on DNA, such as DNA or RNA polymerases. Two gyrase mutants that suffer partial loss of function were used here to study the need for replication restart in conditions in which gyrase activity is affected. We show that the preprimosomal protein...
