DNA topoisomerases as molecular targets for anticancer drugs [PDF]
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2020 The significant role of topoisomerases in the control of DNA chain topology has been confirmed in numerous research conducted worldwide. The prevalence of these enzymes, as well as the key importance of topoisomerase in the proper functioning of cells ...

DNA-Topology Simplification by Topoisomerases
Molecules, 2021 The topological properties of DNA molecules, supercoiling, knotting, and catenation, are intimately connected with essential biological processes, such as gene expression, replication, recombination, and chromosome segregation. Non-trivial DNA topologies

DNA topoisomerases participate in fragility of the oncogene RET. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fragile site breakage was previously shown to result in rearrangement of the RET oncogene, resembling the rearrangements found in thyroid cancer. Common fragile sites are specific regions of the genome with a high susceptibility to DNA breakage under ...

Archaea: A Gold Mine for Topoisomerase Diversity
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The control of DNA topology is a prerequisite for all the DNA transactions such as DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. This global control is carried out by essential enzymes, named DNA-topoisomerases, that are mandatory for the ...

Transcription facilitated genome-wide recruitment of topoisomerase I and DNA gyrase. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Movement of the transcription machinery along a template alters DNA topology resulting in the accumulation of supercoils in DNA. The positive supercoils generated ahead of transcribing RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the negative supercoils accumulating behind

Structural study of Topoisomerase IV-DNA-Levofloxacin complexes from Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 S. pneumoniae is an important pathogen causing pulmonary infection, acute otitis media and purulent meningitis in infants and children. Type II topoisomerases are enzymes that play essential roles in DNA replication, chromosome segregation and ...
