Hairpin telomeres of bacterial linear chromosomes are generated by a DNA cutting-rejoining enzyme protelomerase. Protelomerase resolves a concatenated dimer of chromosomes as the last step of chromosome replication, converting a palindromic DNA seque

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne human illness in North America. In order to understand the molecular pathogenesis, natural diversity, population structure and epizootic spread of the North American Lyme agent, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu st

Background: Protelomerase is an enzyme that generates closed hairpin ends in bacterial linear chromosomes. Results: Atu2523 encodes the agrobacterial protelomerase that generates its telomeres. Conclusion: Agrobacterial protelomerase is the most comp

Half the ribosomes translating the mRNA for phage T4 gene 60 topoisomerase subunit bypass a 50 nucleotide coding gap between codons 46 and 47. The pairing of codon 46 with its cognate peptidyl-tRNA anticodon dissociates, and following mRNA slippage,

Bacteria possess two closely related yet functionally distinct essential type IIA topoisomerases (Topos). DNA gyrase supports replication and transcription with its unique supercoiling activity, whereas Topo IV preferentially relaxes (+) supercoils a

Bacteriophage T4 DNA topoisomerase gene 60 contains a 50 nucleotide untranslated region within the coding sequence of its mRNA. Translational bypass of this sequence by elongating ribosomes has been postulated for the mode of synthesis of an 18 kd po

Protelomerases are enzymes responsible for the generation of closed hairpin ends in linear DNA. It is proposed that they use a breaking-and-rejoin type mechanism to affect DNA rearrangement on specific DNA sequences. In doing so, one strand turns aro

We have determined that Borrelia burgdorferi strain B31 MI carries 21 extrachromosomal DNA elements, the largest number known for any bacterium. Among these are 12 linear and nine circular plasmids, whose sequences total 610 694 bp. We report here th

The role of mutations in the genes for GyrA and ParC in quinolone resistance in Mycoplasma hominis was studied. Selection with sparfloxacin gave mutations at GyrA83 (Ser→Leu; Escherichia coli numbering) or GyrA87 (Glu→Lys), and mutants had increa

Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus has been recognized as a cause of systemic illness in immunocompromised hosts, including relapsing bacteremia in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-in-fected patients. Acquired resistance to quinolone therapy, whi
