Application
For the production of positively supercoiled plasmid DNA. Inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase and eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase. Inhibitor of retrovirus RNA-dependent DNA-polymerase
Novobiocin, an inhibitor of Hsp90, is used to study heat shock
protein inhibition and to produce positively supercoiled plasmid DNA
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mode of Action: Inhibits DNA synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme Topoisomerase II.
Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-positive bacterial.
Novobiocin inhibits DNA synthesis by inhibiting the GyrB subunit
of the Topoisomerase enzyme involved in energy transduction. Novobiocin
acts as a competitive inhibitor of the ATPase reaction catalysed by
GyrB
