Description

DNA gyrase is the only topoisomerase that introduces negative supercoiling into closed circular plasmid molecules. It is a heterotetramer consists of two GyrA and two GyrB subunits.

This expression cassette is regulated by an IPTG inducible promoter and will be expressing both Gyr A and Gyr B subunits . Gyr A subunit will bind to the DNA ( gyrase binding site) and is responsible for catalysing DNA breakage and resealing in order to change the level of supercoiling in DNA. Gyr B subunit provides energy for the reaction in the presence of divalent cations such as magnesium cation.

Notes

GyrB has a EcoR1 restriction site at 6th bp of the ORF, and it has been removed site directed mutagenesis.
The wild type Gyr A ORF has a Pst 1 restriction site at the 1212th bp position so site directed mutagenesis was carried out to remove the restriction site.
