Inhibition of M. tuberculosis topoisomerase I by SCN and N-SCN. (A,B) Supercoiled pBR322 (0.5 μg) was treated with 1 unit of purified MtbTopoI in 200 μl reactions containing N-SCN, SCN, or boldine at the concentrations (μM) indicated. Mw, molecular mass standard; S, covalently closed supercoiled pBR322 used as substrate. (C) One unit of MtbTopoI was pre-incubated with SCN at the indicated concentrations, then 0.1 pmol of 5′-biotin-labeled 32-mer oligonucleotide was added and the reaction was continued for 30 min. The products were resolved in 12% denaturing PAGE. (D) Quantification of the 19-mer cleavage product. The values (mean ± SD) of three independent experiments are shown. indicates statistical significance by Student T-test P < 0.05.
