RESUMO
The DNA gyrase gyrA gene from the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida 2148/89 was cloned, and the nucleotide sequence was determined. An open reading frame of 2,766 nucleotides was identified and was found to encode a protein of 922 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 101.1 kDa. The derived amino acid sequence shared a high degree of identity with other DNA gyrase A proteins, in particular, with other gram-negative GyrA sequences. When the amino acid sequence of A. salmonicida GyrA was compared with that of Escherichia coli GyrA, a number of conserved residues were present at identical coordinates, including the catalytic Tyr residue at position 122 (Tyr-122) and residues whose substitution confers quinolone resistance, notably, Ser-83, Ala-67, Gly-81, Asp-87, Ala-84, and Gln-106. An intragenic region corresponding to 48 amino acids, which is not present in E. coli or other bacteria, was identified in the C-terminal part of A. salmonicida GyrA. This intragenic region shared sequence identity with various DNA-binding proteins of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic origins.
