DNA gyrase A topoisomerase that removes supercoils from DNA by first producing double-strand breaks and then sealing them.
DNA gyrase A topoisomerase that catalyzes the ATP-driven introduction of negative supercoils into DNA. Also called topoisomerase II.

DNA gyrase - The protein responsible for relaxing the tension on the double helix owing to supercoiled twists brought about by the unwinding of the double helix without rotation; also called helix-unwinding protein DNA ligase ...
Some bacteria do this by modifying their DNA gyrase. Others, e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis, develop quinolone resistance by synthesizing a protein that resembles a short length of DNA.
Host DNA gyrase puts negative supercoils in the circular chromosome, causing A-T rich regions to unwind and drive transcription. Transcription starts from the constitutive PL, PR and PR' promoters producing the 'immediate early' transcripts.
