A class of rpoB mutations is described which suppresses replication and transcription deficiency in gyrB-ts mutants shifted to a nonpermissive temperature. The compensatory effect of an altered subunit B of RNA polymerase (rpoB) for the gyrB defect, indicates that transcription is a primary target of the B subunit of DNA gyrase. One gyrB mutation (gyrB402-ts) shows deficiency in chromosome elongation at the nonpermissive temperature, in vivo and in cells permeabilized with toluene. The gyrB polypeptide functions at least dually in replication; first, at the level of transcription initiation and second, at the level of chain polymerization.
