The antimicrobial agent, 6-(p-hydroxyphenylazo)-uracil, specifically inhibits DNA polymerase III ofBacillus subtiliswith aKiof less than 1 μM. The inhibition requires prior reduction of the drug, is reversible, and is competitive with dGTP. High amounts of dATP prevent inhibition by the closely related drug, 6-(p-hydroxyphenylazo)-isocytosine. A model is presented in which the inhibitors base-pair with the template while part of a ternary complex with the enzyme. These results imply that DNA polymerase III ofB. subtilisis necessary for chromosomal replication.
