The TOPRIM domain found in many nucleotidyl transferases contains a DxD motif involved in magnesium ion coordination for catalysis. Medium to high copy number plasmid clones of Yersinia pestis topoisomerase I (YpTOP) with Asp to Asn substitution at the first aspartate residue (D117N) of this motif could not be generated in Escherichia coli without second site mutation even when expression was under the control of the tightly regulated BAD promoter and suppressed by 2% glucose in the medium. Arabinose induction of a single copy YpTOP-D117N mutant gene integrated into the chromosome resulted in ~105 fold of cell killing in 2.5 h. Attempt to induce expression of the corresponding E. coli topoisomerase I mutant (EcTOP-D111N) encoded on a high copy number plasmid resulted in either loss of viability or reversion of the clone to wild-type. High copy plasmid clones of YpTOP-D119N and EcTOP-D113N with the Asn substitution at the second Asp of the TOPRIM motif could be stably maintained, but overexpression also decreased cell viability significantly. The Asp to Asn substitutions at these TOPRIM residues can selectively decrease Mg2+ binding affinity with minimal disruption of the active site geometry, leading to trapping of the covalent complex with cleaved DNA and causing bacterial cell death. The extreme sensitivity of the first TOPRIM position suggested that this might be a useful site for binding of small molecules that could act as topoisomerase poisons.
