Mh. Forsyth et al., SEQUENCE AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE GENES ENCODING THE CLASS-II TOPOISOMERASE OF MYCOPLASMA-GALLISEPTICUM, Gene, 163(1), 1995, pp. 161-162
The gyrAB genes encoding the entire B and a portion of the A subunit o
f DNA gyrase (E.C. 5.99.1.3) from Mycoplasma gallisepticum (Mg), strai
n S6, were cloned and sequenced. These gyrAB genes are co-transcribed
as a single, polycistronic mRNA transcript. The Mg gyrB appears unique
among prokaryotic gyrB in its use of GUG as a start codon.
