DNA gyrase activity regulates DnaA‐dependent replication initiation in Bacillus subtilis

Abstract: In bacteria, initiation of DNA replication requires the DnaA protein. Regulation of DnaA association and activity at the origin of replication, oriC, is the predominant mechanism of replication initiation control. One key feature known to be generally important for replication is DNA topology. Although there have been some suggestions that topology may impact replication initiation, whether this mechanism regulates DnaA-mediated replication initiation is unclear. We found that the essential topoisomerase, DNA … Show more

“…Gene dosage shift occurs at subinhibitory concentration of ACX-362E PolC inhibitor. A possible explanation for the relative upregulation of oriC-proximal genes and downregulation of terC-proximal genes is a gene dosage shift (35)(36)(37), due to the fact that PolC inhibition slows replication elongation but does not prevent reinitiation of DNA replication (23,38). To determine if this in fact occurs in C. difficile when replication elongation is inhibited, we performed a marker frequency analysis (MFA) to determine the relative abundance of an origin-proximal gene relative to a terminusproximal gene on chromosomal DNA isolated from treated and nontreated cells.…”

“…The unwinding at an oriC origin of replication and the accessibility of the dnaA binding sequences are particularly sensitive to gyrase activity (as reported for novobiocin, Samadpour & Merrikh, ), such that gyrase inhibition yields multiple abortive cycles of replication initiation. In the previous study, when novobiocin‐inhibited E. coli cells were analyzed using genomic DNA sequencing, the copy number of oriC was in excess to the termini regions.…”

“…Studies have established that, among the consequences of changes in gyrase activity, there is an impact on the initiation of replication (Guo, Haakonsen, Zeng, Schumacher, & Laub, ; Samadpour & Merrikh, ). This has also been demonstrated for E. coli treated with CIP within an infection model (Haugan, Lobner‐Olesen, & Frimodt‐Moller, ).…”

“…QnrB‐mediated replication stress could be related to the inhibition of DNA gyrase activity and the subsequent effect on DnaA‐dependent replication initiation (Fuller and Kornberg, ; Schnos et al , ; Samadpour and Merrikh, ). However, as described above, TRIM, which exerts its effects independently of gyrase, induced QnrB‐mediated DNA replication stress, resulting in an increased mutation rate (Figs and , and Table ).…”
