Abstract:
:Supercoiling of bacterial DNA is regulated by topoisomerases and influences most of the metabolic processes involving DNA. The present review is devoted to a brief outline of the supercoiled state of DNA in bacteria and to all microbial topoisomerases hitherto described. Recent studies on topoisomerases of archaebacteria led to the discovery of a so-called reverse gyrase, the properties of which are also discussed. Special emphasis is given to a selective treatment of the effects of those antibiotics which act as gyrase inhibitors.
