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.

Distinct requirements for the Rad32(Mre¹¹) nuclease and Ctp1(CtIP) in the removal of covalently bound topoisomerase I and II from DNA [PDF]

, 2009
For a cancer cell to resist treatment with drugs that trap topoisomerases covalently on the DNA, the topoisomerase must be removed. In this study, we provide evidence that the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad32Mre11 nuclease activity is involved in the ...

Machines on Genes: Enzymes that Make, Break and Move DNA and RNA [PDF]

, 2010
As the vital information repositories of the cell, the nucleic acids DNA and RNA pose many challenges as enzyme substrates. To produce, maintain and repair DNA and RNA, and to extract the genetic information that they encode, a battery of remarkable ...

DNA topoisomerases and their poisoning by anticancer and antibacterial drugs.

Chemistry and Biology, 2010
DNA topoisomerases are the targets of important anticancer and antibacterial drugs. Camptothecins and novel noncamptothecins in clinical development (indenoisoquinolines and ARC-111) target eukaryotic type IB topoisomerases (Top1), whereas human type IIA

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.

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

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

Fork rotation and DNA precatenation are restricted during DNA replication to prevent chromosomal instability [PDF]

, 2015
Faithful genome duplication and inheritance require the complete resolution of all intertwines within the parental DNA duplex. This is achieved by topoisomerase action ahead of the replication fork or by fork rotation and subsequent resolution of the DNA
