Illustration of how cold shock affects the supercoiling state of the DNA, by blocking the activity of Gyrase. The signs ' − ' and '+' represent negative and positive supercoiling, respectively. Created with BioRender.com. Also shown is a stochastic model of gene expression during cold shock as a function of the global DNA supercoiling state.
Reverse gyrase is a type I topoisomerase that introduces positive supercoils into DNA, [1] contrary to the typical negative supercoils introduced by the type II topoisomerase DNA gyrase. These positive supercoils can be introduced to DNA that is either negatively supercoiled or fully relaxed. [2] Where DNA gyrase forms a tetramer and is capable ...

Type II topoisomerases increase or decrease the linking number of a DNA loop by 2 units, and it promotes chromosome disentanglement. For example, DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase observed in E. coli and most other prokaryotes, introduces negative supercoils and decreases the linking number by 2.
DNA gyrase introduces negative supercoiling in the presence of ATP and it removes positive supercoiling in the absence of ATP. [102] Across all forms of life, DNA gyrase is the only topoisomerase that can create negative supercoiling and it is because of this unique ability that bacterial genomes possess free negative supercoils; DNA gyrase is ...
For example, the positive charge of ethidium bromide can reduce the DNA movement by 15%. [12] Agarose gel electrophoresis can be used to resolve circular DNA with different supercoiling topology. [16] DNA damage due to increased cross-linking will also reduce electrophoretic DNA migration in a dose-dependent way. [17] [18]
While topoisomerase IV does relax positive supercoils like DNA gyrase, it does not introduce further negative supercoiling like the latter enzyme. [ 1 ] Topoisomerase IV can unknot right-handed knots and decatenate right-handed catenanes without acting on right-handed plectonemes in negatively supercoiled DNA molecules, based on geometrical ...
The negative charge of its phosphate backbone moves the DNA towards the positively charged anode during electrophoresis. However, the migration of DNA molecules in solution, in the absence of a gel matrix, is independent of molecular weight during electrophoresis, i.e. there is no separation by size without a gel matrix.
