Pentapeptide-repeat proteins, such as MfpA and Qnr proteins, have an intriguing right-handed quadrilateral β-helical fold that gives rise to an elongated roughly cylindrical structure that resembles the shape of a double-stranded DNA helix. It has been speculated that these proteins, particularly those that interact with bacterial DNA gyrase, act as DNA mimics, competing with DNA to fulfil their functions. Until now there has been no direct evidence for this. Using enzymology and X-ray crystallography, we show the mycobacterial MfpA appears to act as a mimic of the transported (T) DNA segment during the gyrase supercoiling cycle, protecting the enzyme from fluoroquinolone antibiotics. These data suggest a mechanism to limit fluoroquinolone efficacy. DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase, introduces negative supercoils into DNA using ATP hydrolysis. The highly effective gyrase-targeted drugs, fluoroquinolones (FQs), interrupt gyrase by stabilizing a DNA-cleavage complex, a transient intermediate in the supercoiling cycle, leading to double-stranded DNA breaks. MfpA, a pentapeptide-repeat protein in mycobacteria, protects gyrase from FQs, but its molecular mechanism remains unknown. Here, we show that Mycobacterium smegmatis MfpA (MsMfpA) inhibits negative supercoiling by M. smegmatis gyrase (Msgyrase) in the absence of FQs, while in their presence, MsMfpA decreases FQ-induced DNA cleavage, protecting the enzyme from these drugs. MsMfpA stimulates the ATPase activity of Msgyrase by directly interacting with the ATPase domain (MsGyrB47), which was confirmed through X-ray crystallography of the MsMfpA–MsGyrB47 complex, and mutational analysis, demonstrating that MsMfpA mimics a T (transported) DNA segment. These data reveal the molecular mechanism whereby MfpA modulates the activity of gyrase and may provide a general molecular basis for the action of other pentapeptide-repeat proteins.
