Reverse gyrase includes two distinct regions, homologous to a topoisomerase and a helicase, respectively.
“The evolutionary history of reverse gyrase is well constrained because of its structure: it includes two distinct regions, homologous to a topoisomerase and a helicase, respectively (Forterre 1996;Forterre et al. 1995).”

Reverse gyrase is critical to hyperthermophilic life.
“Reverse gyrase is critical to hyperthermophilic life (Forterre 1996;Forterre 2002;Kikuchi and Asai 1984;Heine and Chandra 2009).”

Reverse gyrase is a topoisomerase unique to thermophiles and hyperthermophiles.
“Reverse gyrase is a topoisomerase unique to thermophiles and hyperthermophiles (Forterre 1996;Forterre 2002) that converts closed, circular DNA to a positively supercoiled form (Kikuchi and Asai 1984).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
