Antibacterial fluoroquinolones trap a cleavage complex of gyrase and topoisomerase (topo) IV inducing site-specific DNA breakage within a bent DNA gate engaged in DNA transport. Despite its importance for drug action and in revealing potential sites of topoisomerase catalysis, the mechanism of DNA selectivity is poorly understood. To explore its functional basis, we generated mutant versions of the strongly cleaved E-site and used a novel competitive assay to examine their gemifloxacin-mediated DNA breakage by Streptococcus pneumoniae topo IV and gyrase. Parallel studies of Ca2+-induced cleavage distinguished ‘intrinsic recognition’ of DNA cleavage sites by topo IV from drug-induced preferences. Analysis revealed strong enzyme-determined requirements for −4G, −2A and −1T bases preceding the breakage site (between −1 and +1) and enzyme-unique or degenerate determinants at −3, plus drug-specific preferences at +2/+3 and for +1 purines associated with drug intercalation. Similar cleavage rules were seen additionally at the novel V-site identified here in ColE1-derived plasmids. In concert with DNA binding data, our results provide functional evidence for DNA, enzyme and drug contributions to DNA cleavage at the gate, suggest a mechanism for DNA discrimination involving enzyme-induced DNA bending/helix distortion and cleavage complex stabilization and advance understanding of fluoroquinolones as important cleavage-enhancing therapeutics.
