(A) SDS–PAGE analysis of cross-linked GyrB. W661C–GyrBnc, T546C–GyrBnc and A543C–GyrBnc (4 µM) were incubated under non-reducing conditions alone or in the presence of BMH (25 µM) or (1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) (CuP, 125 µM). Reactions were incubated for 1 h at 37°C for BMH cross-linking and quenched with DTT (4 mM). Reactions were incubated for 0.5 h at 37°C for (1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) cross-linking and quenched with EDTA (1 mM). The above quenched mixtures were analyzed by SDS–PAGE under non-reducing conditions. T546C–GyrBnc protein was purified with gel filtration (B) and its peak II was cross-linked by (1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) (C). Lane 1, protein marker; lane 2, the prepared cross-linked T546C–GyrBnc mutant protein by (1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II); lanes 3 and 4 were the cross-linked protein incubated with 5 and 10 mM DTT, respectively. Samples were analyzed by SDS–PAGE under nonreducing conditions.
