ABSTRACT
To investigate the interaction of subunits A and B of DNA gyrase during DNA supercoiling, a Cour mutant of Escherichia coli was obtained and the effect of nalidixic acid on the supercoiling of DNA by wild-type and mutant enzymes was assayed. The enzyme of the Cour strain proved to be more sensitive to nalidixic acid than the wild-type DNA gyrase. Hence the mutation affecting the B subunit can also change the properties of the A subunit, which fact suggests that the two subunits of DNA gyrase are in contact during DNA supercoiling.
