Supercondensed structure of plasmid pBR322 DNA in an Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase II mutant.

Abstract excerpt

An unusual structural component, supercondensed pBR322 DNA, has been found in plasmid pBR322 DNA samples isolated from a DNA topoisomerase II mutant of Escherichia coli, SD108 (topA+, gyrB225). The supercondensed pBR322 DNA moved faster than supercoiled pBR322 DNA as a homogeneous band in agrose gels when the DNA samples were analysed by electrophoresis. The mobility of the supercondensed DNA was not...
