摘要：

When bacterial cells are shifted to higher temperatures their degree of DNA supercoiling changes. Topoisomerases are involved in bacterial adaptation to environmental changes requiring rapid shifts in gene expression. This role in heat shock has been elucidated by genetic studies on the Escherichia coli topA gene and its sigma(32)-dependent promoter, P1. Other studies have shown that certain gyrA mutants have increased thermoresistance.
