DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase found predominantly in bacteria, is the target for a variety of 'poisons', namely natural product toxins (e.g. albicidin, microcin B17) and clinically important synthetic molecules (e.g. fluoroquinolones). Resistance to both groups can be mediated by pentapeptide repeat proteins (PRPs). Despite long-term studies, the mechanism of action of these protective PRPs is not known. We show that a PRP, QnrB1 provides specific protection against fluoroquinolones, which strictly requires ATP hydrol
