Topological Process of Splitting DNA-Links

Biomath, 2022
A DNA replicon is modeled by a special type of 2-component link, called a DNA-link, in which two circles form a double helix around a trivial center core curve.

Type IA Topoisomerases as Targets for Infectious Disease Treatments

Microorganisms, 2021
Infectious diseases are one of the main causes of death all over the world, with antimicrobial resistance presenting a great challenge. New antibiotics need to be developed to provide therapeutic treatment options, requiring novel drug targets to be ...

Data of transcriptional effects of the merbarone-mediated inhibition of TOP2

Data in Brief, 2022
Type II DNA topoisomerases relax topological stress by transiently gating DNA passage in a controlled cut-and-reseal mechanism that affects both DNA strands.

Unveiling the interdomain dynamics of type II DNA topoisomerase through all-atom simulations: Implications for understanding its catalytic cycle

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Type IIA DNA topoisomerases are complex molecular nanomachines that manage topological states of the DNA molecule in the cell and play a crucial role in cellular processes such as cell division and transcription.

Structural Basis of Gate-DNA Breakage and Resealing by Type II Topoisomerases [PDF]

, 2010
ype II DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes with essential functions in DNA replication, recombination and transcription. They change DNA topology by forming a transient covalent cleavage complex with a gate-DNA duplex that allows transport of a ...

Hot-spot consensus of fluoroquinolone-mediated DNA cleavage by gram-negative and gram-positive type II DNA topoisomerases [PDF]

, 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 ...

Topoisomerase VI senses and exploits both DNA crossings and bends to facilitate strand passage

eLife, 2018
Type II topoisomerases manage DNA supercoiling and aid chromosome segregation using a complex, ATP-dependent duplex strand passage mechanism. Type IIB topoisomerases and their homologs support both archaeal/plant viability and meiotic recombination. Topo

The impact of the C-terminal domain on the interaction of human DNA topoisomerase II α and β with DNA [PDF]

, 2011
<b>Background</b> Type II DNA topoisomerases are essential, ubiquitous enzymes that act to relieve topological problems arising in DNA from normal cellular activity.

Clerocidin selectively modifies the gyrase-DNA gate to induce irreversible and reversible DNA damage [PDF]

, 2008
Clerocidin (CL), a microbial diterpenoid, reacts with DNA via its epoxide group and stimulates DNA cleavage by type II DNA topoisomerases. The molecular basis of CL action is poorly understood.
