Abstract excerpt
The Qnr pentapeptide repeat proteins interact with DNA gyrase and protect it from quinolone inhibition. The two external loops, particularly the larger loop B, of Qnr proteins are essential for quinolone protection of DNA gyrase. The specific QnrB1 interaction sites on DNA gyrase are not known. In this study, we investigated the interaction between GyrA and QnrB1 using site-specific photo-cross-linking of QnrB1...
