Abstract
DNA gyrases catalyze negative supercoiling of DNA, are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and recombination, and are important antibacterial targets in multiple pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which in 2021 caused >1.5 million deaths worldwide. DNA gyrase is a tetrameric (A2B2) protein formed from two subunit types: gyrase A (GyrA) carries the breakage-reunion active site, whereas gyrase B (GyrB) catalyzes ATP hydrolysis required for energy transduction and DNA translocation. The GyrB ATPase domains dimerize in the presence of ATP to trap the translocated DNA (T-DNA) segment as a first step in strand passage, for which hydrolysis of one of the two ATPs and release of the resulting inorganic phosphate is rate-limiting. Here, dynamical-nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (D-NEMD) simulations of the dimeric 43 kDa N-terminal fragment of M. tuberculosis GyrB show how events at the ATPase site (dissociation/hydrolysis of bound nucleotides) are propagated through communication pathways to other functionally important regions of the GyrB ATPase domain. Specifically, our simulations identify two distinct pathways that respectively connect the GyrB ATPase site to the corynebacteria-specific C-loop, thought to interact with GyrA prior to DNA capture, and to the C-terminus of the GyrB transduction domain, which in turn contacts the C-terminal GyrB topoisomerase-primase (TOPRIM) domain responsible for interactions with GyrA and the centrally bound G-segment DNA. The connection between the ATPase site and the C-loop of dimeric GyrB is consistent with the unusual properties of M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase relative to those from other bacterial species.

Abstract
Mutations in DNA gyrase confer resistance to fluoroquinolones, second-line antibiotics for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. Identification of new agents that inhibit M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATPase activity is one strategy to overcome this. Here, bioisosteric designs using known inhibitors as templates were employed to define novel inhibitors of M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATPase activity. This yielded the modified compound R3-13 with improved drug-likeness compared to the template inhibitor that acted as a promising ATPase inhibitor against M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase. Utilization of compound R3-13 as a virtual screening template, supported by subsequent biological assays, identified seven further M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATPase inhibitors with IC50 values in the range of 0.42-3.59 μM. The most active compound 1 showed an IC50 value of 0.42 μM, 3-fold better than the comparator ATPase inhibitor novobiocin (1.27 μM). Compound 1 showed noncytotoxicity to Caco-2 cells at concentrations up to 76-fold higher than its IC50 value. Molecular dynamics simulations followed by decomposition energy calculations identified that compound 1 occupies the binding pocket utilized by the adenosine group of the ATP analogue AMPPNP in the M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase GyrB subunit. The most prominent contribution to the binding of compound 1 to M. tuberculosis GyrB subunit is made by residue Asp79, which forms two hydrogen bonds with the OH group of this compound and also participates in the binding of AMPPNP. Compound 1 represents a potential new scaffold for further exploration and optimization as a M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATPase inhibitor and candidate anti-tuberculosis agent.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase manipulates the DNA topology using controlled breakage and religation of DNA driven by ATP hydrolysis. DNA gyrase has been validated as the enzyme target of fluoroquinolones (FQs), second-line antibiotics used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Mutations around the DNA gyrase DNA-binding site result in the emergence of FQ resistance in M. tuberculosis; inhibition of DNA gyrase ATPase activity is one strategy to overcome this. Here, virtual screening, subsequently validated by biological assays, was applied to select candidate inhibitors of the M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATPase activity from the Specs compound library (www.specs.net). Thirty compounds were identified and selected as hits for in vitro biological assays, of which two compounds, G24 and G26, inhibited the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 12.5 μg/mL. The two compounds inhibited DNA gyrase ATPase activity with IC50 values of 2.69 and 2.46 μM, respectively, suggesting this to be the likely basis of their antitubercular activity. Models of complexes of compounds G24 and G26 bound to the M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATP-binding site, generated by molecular dynamics simulations followed by pharmacophore mapping analysis, showed hydrophobic interactions of inhibitor hydrophobic headgroups and electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions of the polar tails, which are likely to be important for their inhibition. Decreasing compound lipophilicity by increasing the polarity of these tails then presents a likely route to improving the solubility and activity. Thus, compounds G24 and G26 provide attractive starting templates for the optimization of antitubercular agents that act by targeting DNA gyrase.

Abstract
Despite sharing common features, previous studies have shown that gyrases from different species have been modified throughout evolution to modulate their properties. Here, we report two crystal structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase, an apo and AMPPNP-bound form at 2.6-Å and 3.3-Å resolution, respectively. These structures provide high-resolution structural data on the quaternary organization and interdomain connections of a gyrase (full-length GyrB-GyrA57)2 thus providing crucial inputs on this essential drug target. Together with small-angle X-ray scattering studies, they revealed an "extremely open" N-gate state, which persists even in the DNA-free gyrase-AMPPNP complex and an unexpected connection between the ATPase and cleavage core domains mediated by two Corynebacteriales-specific motifs, respectively the C-loop and DEEE-loop. We show that the C-loop participates in the stabilization of this open conformation, explaining why this gyrase has a lower ATPase activity. Our results image a conformational state which might be targeted for drug discovery.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase, a nanomachine involved in regulation of DNA topology, is the only type II topoisomerase present in this organism and hence is the sole target of fluoroquinolone in the treatment of tuberculosis. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the DNA gyrase A subunit possesses a unique feature, the ability to wrap DNA in a chiral manner, that plays an essential role during the catalytic cycle. A construct of 36 kDa corresponding to this domain has been overproduced, purified and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 1.55 Å resolution. Cleavage of the N-terminal His tag was crucial for obtaining crystals. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with one molecule in the asymmetric unit and a low solvent content (33%). This is the first report of the crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of a DNA gyrase CTD from a species that contains one unique type II topoisomerase.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase, an indispensable nanomachine involved in the regulation of DNA topology, is the only type II topoisomerase present in this organism and is hence the sole target for quinolone action, a crucial drug active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. To understand at an atomic level the quinolone resistance mechanism, which emerges in extensively drug resistant tuberculosis, we performed combined functional, biophysical and structural studies of the two individual domains constituting the catalytic DNA gyrase reaction core, namely the Toprim and the breakage-reunion domains. This allowed us to produce a model of the catalytic reaction core in complex with DNA and a quinolone molecule, identifying original mechanistic properties of quinolone binding and clarifying the relationships between amino acid mutations and resistance phenotype of M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase. These results are compatible with our previous studies on quinolone resistance. Interestingly, the structure of the entire breakage-reunion domain revealed a new interaction, in which the Quinolone-Binding Pocket (QBP) is blocked by the N-terminal helix of a symmetry-related molecule. This interaction provides useful starting points for designing peptide based inhibitors that target DNA gyrase to prevent its binding to DNA.

DNA gyrase is a type II topoisomerase that is essential for chromosome segregation and cell division owing to its ability to modify the topological forms of bacterial DNA. In this study, the N-terminal breakage-reunion domain of the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase from Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 2.60 A resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 98.98, b = 101.56, c = 141.83 A. The asymmetric unit contained two molecules, with a corresponding V(M) of 3.18 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 59.9%.
