Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis to Study the Activity of Type IIA Topoisomerases on Plasmid Replication Intermediates

open access: yesBiology, 2021
DNA topoisomerases are the enzymes that regulate DNA topology in all living cells. Since the discovery and purification of ω (omega), when the first were topoisomerase identified, the function of many topoisomerases has been examined.

Archaea: A Gold Mine for Topoisomerase Diversity

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yesE3S 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 ...

Molecular Docking for the Development of Alternative Therapies against Leishmaniasis

open access: yesChemistry Proceedings, 2023
Topoisomerases play a pivotal role in regulating the topological structure of DNA during fundamental processes such as transcription, DNA repair, or DNA replication; because of this, topoisomerases are biological targets in pathogenic microorganisms or ...

SUMO: A Swiss Army Knife for Eukaryotic Topoisomerases

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Topoisomerases play crucial roles in DNA metabolism that include replication, transcription, recombination, and chromatin structure by manipulating DNA structures arising in double-stranded DNA.

Tricking enzymes in living cells: a mechanism-based strategy for design of DNA topoisomerase biosensors

open access: yesJournal of Nanobiotechnology, 2021
Most activity-based molecular probes are designed to target enzymes that catalyze the breaking of chemical bonds and the conversion of a unimolecular substrate into bimolecular products.

Controlling the topology of mammalian mitochondrial DNA

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2021
The genome of mitochondria, called mtDNA, is a small circular DNA molecule present at thousands of copies per human cell. MtDNA is packaged into nucleoprotein complexes called nucleoids, and the density of mtDNA packaging affects mitochondrial gene ...
