Quinolone antibacterial drugs such as nalidixic acid target DNA gyrase inEscherichia coli. These inhibitors bind to and stabilize a normally transient covalent protein-DNA intermediate in the gyrase reaction cycle, referred to as the cleavage complex. Stabilization of the cleavage complex is necessary but not sufficient for cell killing—cytotoxicity apparently results from the conversion of cleavage complexes into overt DNA breaks by an as-yet-unknown mechanism(s). Quinolone treatment induces the bacterial SOS response in a RecBC-dependent manner, arguing that cleavage complexes are somehow converted into double-stranded breaks. However, the only proteins known to be required for SOS induction by nalidixic acid are RecA and RecBC. In hopes of identifying additional proteins involved in the cytotoxic response to nalidixic acid, we screened forE. colimutants specifically deficient in SOS induction upon nalidixic acid treatment by using adinD::lacZreporter construct. From a collection of SOS partially constitutive mutants with disruptions of 47 different genes, we found thatdnaQinsertion mutants are specifically deficient in the SOS response to nalidixic acid.dnaQencodes DNA polymerase III ε subunit, the proofreading subunit of the replicative polymerase. The deficient response to nalidixic acid was rescued by the presence of the wild-typednaQgene, confirming involvement of the ε subunit. To further characterize the SOS deficiency ofdnaQmutants, we analyzed the expression of several additional SOS genes in response to nalidixic acid using real-time PCR. A subset of SOS genes lost their response to nalidixic acid in thednaQmutant strain, while two tested SOS genes (recAandrecN) continued to exhibit induction. These results argue that the replication complex plays a role in modulating the SOS response to nalidixic acid and that the response is more complex than a simple on/off switch.
