BLM and RMI1 alleviate RPA inhibition of topoIIIα decatenase activity [PDF]

, 2012
RPA is a single-stranded DNA binding protein that physically associates with the BLM complex. RPA stimulates BLM helicase activity as well as the double Holliday junction dissolution activity of the BLM-topoisomerase IIIα complex.

A nucleotide resolution map of Top2-linked DNA breaks in the yeast and human genome [PDF]

, 2019
DNA topoisomerases are required to resolve DNA topological stress. Despite this essential role, abortive topoisomerase activity generates aberrant protein-linked DNA breaks, jeopardising genome stability.

Distinct requirements for the Rad32(Mre¹¹) nuclease and Ctp1(CtIP) in the removal of covalently bound topoisomerase I and II from DNA [PDF]

, 2009
For a cancer cell to resist treatment with drugs that trap topoisomerases covalently on the DNA, the topoisomerase must be removed. In this study, we provide evidence that the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad32Mre11 nuclease activity is involved in the ...

Why Should DNA Topoisomerase I Have a Scaffold Activity?

Biology, 2021
Since the early 1990s, in vitro studies have demonstrated that DNA topoisomerase I promotes RNA polymerase II transcription, acting as a cofactor, regardless of its catalytic activity.

Numerical analysis of etoposide induced DNA breaks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Etoposide is a cancer drug that induces strand breaks in cellular DNA by inhibiting topoisomerase II (topoII) religation of cleaved DNA molecules.

Simple and Fast DNA Based Sensor System for Screening of Small-Molecule Compounds Targeting Eukaryotic Topoisomerase 1

Pharmaceutics, 2021
Background: Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 is a potential target of anti-parasitic and anti-cancer drugs. Parasites require topoisomerase 1 activity for survival and, consequently, compounds that inhibit topoisomerase 1 activity may be of interest.

Atomic force microscopy shows that vaccinia topoisomerase IB generates filaments on DNA in a cooperative fashion [PDF]

, 2005
Type IB DNA topoisomerases cleave and rejoin one strand of the DNA duplex, allowing for the removal of supercoils generated during replication and transcription.

Role of Topoisomerase IIβ in DNA Damage Response following IR and Etoposide

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010
The role of topoisomerase IIβ was investigated in cell lines exposed to two DNA damaging agents, ionising radiation (IR) or etoposide, a drug which acts on topoisomerase II. The appearance and resolution of γH2AX foci in murine embryonic fibroblast cell

Novel DNA topoisomerase IIα inhibitors from combined ligand- and structure-based virtual screening.

PLoS ONE, 2014
DNA topoisomerases are enzymes responsible for the relaxation of DNA torsional strain, as well as for the untangling of DNA duplexes after replication, and are important cancer drug targets.
