Association of Type I DNA Topoisomerase with Herpes Simplex Virus

Journal of General Virology, 1985
A topoisomerase activity is associated with herpes simplex virus type 1. The enzyme was recovered from purified virions which were disrupted with 6 M-guanidine-HCl followed by renaturation of extracted proteins. Based upon the following observations, the virion activity is classified as a type I topoisomerase: (i) the linking number of a unique DNA ...

The Effect of Dimethyl Sulfoxide on Supercoiled DNA Relaxation Catalyzed by Type I Topoisomerases [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
The effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on supercoiled plasmid DNA relaxation catalyzed by two typical type I topoisomerases were investigated in our studies. It is shown that DMSO in a low concentration (less than 20%, v/v) can induce a dose-related enhancement of the relaxation efficiency ofEscherichia colitopoisomerase I (type IA).

Amsacrine Derivatives Selectively Inhibit Mycobacterial Topoisomerase I (TopA), Impair M. smegmatis Growth and Disturb Chromosome Replication

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Amsacrine, which inhibits eukaryotic type II topoisomerase via DNA intercalation and stabilization of the cleavable topoisomerase-DNA complex, promotes DNA damage and eventually cell death.

Roles of type 1A topoisomerases in genome maintenance in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
In eukaryotes, type 1A topoisomerases (topos) act with RecQ-like helicases to maintain the stability of the genome. Despite having been the first type 1A enzymes to be discovered, much less is known about the involvement of the E.

The antimicrobial activity of exogeno us anionic phospholipids against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli

Тонкие химические технологии, 2016
The effect of anionic phospholipids, namely, cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidic acid, on the growth of gram-negative bacteria E. coli BL21(DE3), as well as gram-positive bacteria M. tuberculosis H37Rv was investigated in this study.

Stabilization of type I topoisomerase-DNA covalent complexes by actinomycin D. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1988
The activity of the endogenous DNA topoisomerase type I (EC 5.99.1.2) can be quantified in situ by determining how efficiently the enzyme is trapped in a covalent complex with DNA upon lysis of nuclei with detergents. In this way, we can measure relative levels of topoisomerase binding to DNA at native sites in chromatin.

Distribution bias and biochemical characterization of TOP1MT single nucleotide variants

Scientific Reports, 2017
Mitochondrial topoisomerase I (TOP1MT) is a type IB topoisomerase encoded in the nucleus of vertebrate cells. In contrast to the other five human topoisomerases, TOP1MT possesses two high frequency single nucleotide variants (SNVs), rs11544484 (V256I ...

Antibacterial activity of a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor versus fluoroquinolones in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The DNA topoisomerase complement of Streptococcus pneumoniae is constituted by two type II enzymes (topoisomerase IV and gyrase), and a single type I enzyme (topoisomerase I).

Identification of a vaccinia virus gene encoding a type I DNA topoisomerase. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1987
Vaccinia virus encapsidates a type I DNA topoisomerase (EC 5.99.1.2). The enzyme was purified from virus cores to apparent homogeneity, yielding a protein of Mr 32,000. The amino-terminal sequence of the isolated Mr 32,000 polypeptide was determined and used to map the putative structural gene for the vaccinia topoisomerase to the H7r open reading ...

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created
