Hot-spot consensus of fluoroquinolone-mediated DNA cleavage by Gram-negative and Gram-positive type II DNA topoisomerases

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2007
Bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are selective targets of fluoroquinolones. Topoisomerase IV versus gyrase and Gram-positive versus Gram-negative behavior was studied based on the different recognition of DNA sequences by topoisomerase–quinolone

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

open access: yesТонкие 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.

Controlled rotation mechanism of DNA strand exchange by the Hin serine recombinase. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
DNA strand exchange by serine recombinases has been proposed to occur by a large-scale rotation of halves of the recombinase tetramer. Here we provide the first direct physical evidence for the subunit rotation mechanism for the Hin serine invertase ...

Single-stranded DNA catenation mediated by human EVL and a type I topoisomerase [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2010
The human Ena/Vasp-like (EVL) protein is considered to be a bifunctional protein, involved in both actin remodeling and homologous recombination. In the present study, we found that human EVL forms heat-stable multimers of circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules in the presence of a type I topoisomerase in vitro. An electron microscopic analysis

Distribution bias and biochemical characterization of TOP1MT single nucleotide variants

open access: yesScientific 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.

open access: yesPLoS 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).

Structural basis for suppression of hypernegative DNA supercoiling by E. coli topoisomerase I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Escherichia coli topoisomerase I has an essential function in preventing hypernegative supercoiling of DNA. A full length structure of E. coli topoisomerase I reported here shows how the C-terminal domains bind single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to recognize ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Transcription as a Threat to Genome Integrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Genomes undergo different types of sporadic alterations, including DNA damage, point mutations, and genome rearrangements, that constitute the basis for evolution.

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.
