Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli about one half of the negative supercoiling of DNA is constrained by proteins, in contrast to the situation in eukaryotic cells where most of the DNA is constrained by histones. The level of supercoiling in the unrestrained portion is controlled by a balance between the supercoiling activity of gyrase and the relaxing activity of DNA topoisomerase I. In the present work we show, by disrupting...
