TDP2 promotes repair of topoisomerase I-mediated DNA damage in the absence of TDP1 [PDF]

, 2012
The abortive activity of topoisomerases can result in clastogenic and/or lethal DNA damage in which the topoisomerase is covalently linked to the 3'- or 5'-terminus of a DNA strand break. This type of DNA damage is implicated in chromosome translocations

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.

On the viability of Escherichia coli cells lacking DNA topoisomerase I

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Manipulations of the DNA double helix during replication, transcription and other nucleic acid processing cause a change of DNA topology, which results in torsional stress.

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 ...

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.

Determination of the Primary Molecular Target of 1,2,4-Triazole-Ciprofloxacin Hybrids [PDF]

, 2015
We have synthesized and examined the antibacterial activity, toxicity and affinity towards bacterial type II topoisomerases of a series of 1,2,4-triazole-ciprofloxacin hybrids.

The Acidic Triad Conserved in Type IA DNA Topoisomerases Is Required for Binding of Mg(II) and Subsequent Conformational Change*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The acidic residues Asp-111, Asp-113, and Glu-115 of Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I are located near the active site Tyr-319 and are conserved in type IA topoisomerase sequences with counterparts in type IIA DNA topoisomerases.

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.

“Breaking up is hard to do”: the formation and resolution of sister chromatid intertwines [PDF]

, 2014
The absolute necessity to resolve every intertwine between the two strands of the DNA double helix provides a massive challenge to the cellular processes that duplicate and segregate chromosomes.

Characterisation of size variants of type I DNA topoisomerase isolated from calf thymus [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1984
Calf thymus DNA topoisomerase I, which belongs to the eukaryotic type I topoisomerases, is in a typical preparation purified as a set of five major polypeptides with Mr between 70000 and 100000. At least four of these proteins have binding affinity for DNA as was shown by incubating them with radioactive single‐stranded DNA after separation in ...
