| FUNCTION | Modifies the topological state of DNA by introducing positive supercoils in an ATP-dependent process, increasing the linking number in steps of +1. Binds to single-stranded DNA, transiently cleaves and then rejoins the ends, introducing a positive supercoil in the process. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA-(5'-phosphotyrosyl)- enzyme intermediate. Probably involved in rewinding DNA strands in regions of the chromosome that have opened up to allow replication, transcription, DNA repair and/or for DNA protection. |
| CATALYTIC ACTIVITY | Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; |
| COFACTOR | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 or 2 zinc ions per subunit.; |
| SUBUNIT | Monomer. |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm. |
| DOMAIN | Introduction of positive supercoils requires the cooperation of both domains. The helicase-like domain probably does not directly unwind DNA, but more likely acts by driving ATP-dependent conformational changes within the whole enzyme. A beta hairpin in the 'latch' region of the N-terminal domain plays a regulatory role in the enzyme, repressing topoisomerase activity in the absence of ATP and preventing the enzyme from acting as an ATP-independent relaxing enzyme; it also helps to coordinate nucleotide hydrolysis by the ATPase domain with the supercoiling activity of the topoisomerase domain. |
| MISCELLANEOUS | This enzyme is the only unique feature of hyperthermophilic bacteria/archaea known and seems to be essential for adaptation to life at high temperatures. It may play a role in stabilization of DNA at high temperatures. |
| SIMILARITY | In the N-terminal section; belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDVD subfamily. |
| SIMILARITY | In the C-terminal section; belongs to the type IA topoisomerase family. |

| Comments | Several reverse gyrases contain inteins; for M.jannaschii the intein was excised in the seed alignment. Duplicated in most Thermoprotei and some bacteria. In a few organisms (for example Methanopyrus kandleri and Nanoarchaeum equitans) the enzyme is encoded by 2 separated genes. Does not have helicase activity despite the helicase-like domain. |
