DNA topoisomerases are enzymes that control the topology of DNA in all cells. There are two types, I and II, classified according to whether they make transient single- or double-stranded breaks in DNA. Their reactions generally involve the passage of a single- or double-strand segment of DNA through this transient break, stabilized by DNA-protein ...

DNA topoisomerases and DNA repair
BioEssays, 1988AbstractDNA topoisomerases are enzymes that can modify, and may regulate, the topological state of DNA through concerted breaking and rejoining of the DNA strands. They have been believed to be directly involved in DNA excision repair, and perhaps to be required for the control of repair as well. The vicissitudes of this hypothesis provide a noteworthy

Abstract Virtually every reaction that occurs in biological systems is catalysed by an enzyme. The interconversions of the different topological forms of DNA are no exceptions. The enzymes that catalyse these processes are known as DNA topoisomerases and constitute a widespread and fascinating group.

DNA topoisomerases play an important role in regulating DNA structure, thus affecting many aspects of chromosome function inside cells. Recent progress in this field raises exciting questions regarding the distinct and critical functions of multiple topoisomerases, and the roles of DNA topoisomerases in the processes of chromosome condensation ...

DNA topoisomerases constitute a large family of enzymes that are essential for all domains of life. Although they share general reaction chemistry and the capacity to govern DNA topology and resolve strand entanglements during fundamental molecular processes, they are characterized by differences in their structural organization, modes of enzymatic ...

Abstract DNA topoisomerases are a class of enzymes that modulate the topo logical structure of DNA. Since the discovery of the first topoisomerase 20 years ago (Wang 1971), many of the properties of this class of enzymes have been elucidated and this progress has been the subject of many reviews (Cozzarelli 1980; Gellert 1981; Liu 1983 ...

DNA sequence selectivity of topoisomerases and topoisomerase poisons
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 1998Chemical agents able to interfere with DNA topoisomerases are widespread in nature, and some of them have clinical efficacy as antitumor or antibacterial drugs. Drugs which have as a target DNA topoisomerases could be divided into two categories: poisons and catalytic inhibitors.

Structure of DNA topoisomerases
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 1998Over the last several years topoisomerases have finally begun to yield to high-resolution structural studies. These models have greatly aided our understanding of the mechanisms of topoisomerase catalysis and drug interactions. This review will cover advances in the structural biology of topoisomerases and discuss their implications for topoisomerase ...

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1998
Type II DNA topoisomerases are enzymes capable of passing one DNA duplex through another. A combination of structural and biochemical analyses is illuminating the mechanistic details of this transport reaction, revealing the sites of DNA and nucleotide binding and the existence of large-scale domain motions.

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1993
The topology of DNA is regulated by DNA-topoisomerase enzymes, which induce either transient DNA single-strand breaks (topoisomerase I) or DNA double-strand breaks (topoisomerase II). The action of several anticancer drugs, eg, DNA intercalating agents (ie, anthracyclines, anthracenediones, anthrapyrazoles, amsacrines, and ellipticines) and ...
