S. aureus Gyrase
Staphylococcus aureus gyrase is a bacterial type II topoisomerase which can introduce negative supercoils into DNA. It is a target for both quinolone and coumarin drugs and can be used for screening potential antibacterial compounds. It is prepared by overexpressing the subunits in E. coli and then purified.
It is supplied as an A2B2 complex at a concentration of 10 U/µl in Dilution Buffer. Store at -80 °C.
All enzyme is supplied with 5X concentrated Assay Buffer and Dilution Buffer which are also available separately. 1 U of gyrase will supercoil 0.5 µg relaxed pBR322 DNA in 30 minutes at 37 °C.

|---|---|---|---|
| SAS4001 | Kit 1 | 100 U of S. aureus gyrase and 50 µg of relaxed DNA | £155 |
| SAS4002 | Kit 2 | 500 U of S. aureus gyrase and 250 µg of relaxed DNA | £595 |
S. aureus Gyrase Cleavage Assay Kits
Some drugs interrupt the DNA breakage-reunion step of the gyrase reaction. This leads to cell death and it is the mechanism behind the action of the quinolones such as nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin. Cleavage assays are particularly useful in determining if a potential drug acts by this mechanism.
These kits are designed specifically for cleavage reactions. They contain the supercoiled pBR322 DNA substrate and the Assay and Dilution buffers required for DNA cleavage reactions in addition to the S. aureus gyrase and linearised pBR322 marker.
Cleavage specific enzyme available separately on request.

S. aureus Gyrase Assay Kits for Cell Extracts
These kits are designed for assaying cell extracts containing gyrase and partially purified fractions and contain relaxed DNA substrate, Assay buffer, Dilution buffer and control supercoiled DNA.
| Cat No. | Product | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAGE001 | Kit 1 | for 100 S. aureus gyrase assays | £110 |
| SAGE002 | Kit 2 | for 500 S. aureus gyrase assays | £350 |
S. aureus Gyrase ATPase Kits
The coumarin drugs inhibit the action of gyrase by competitively inhibiting the hydrolysis of ATP thus preventing supercoiling. These kits can be used to test the effects of potential ATPase inhibitors.
These kits are advantageous because the assays are microtitre plate-based and thus large numbers of compounds can be screened in a relatively short period of time.
