Structure of the N-terminal gyrase B fragment in complex with ADP⋅Pi reveals rigid-body motion induced by ATP hydrolysis [PDF]

, 2014
Type II DNA topoisomerases are essential enzymes that catalyze topological rearrangement of double-stranded DNA using the free energy generated by ATP hydrolysis.

Anti-topoisomerase drugs as potent inducers of chromosomal aberrations

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2000
DNA topoisomerases catalyze topological changes in DNA that are essential for normal cell cycle progression and therefore they are a preferential target for the development of anticancer drugs.

DNA-Stimulated Liquid-Liquid phase separation by eukaryotic topoisomerase ii modulates catalytic function

eLife, 2022
Type II topoisomerases modulate chromosome supercoiling, condensation, and catenation by moving one double-stranded DNA segment through a transient break in a second duplex.

Clerocidin interacts with the cleavage complex of Streptococcus pneumoniae topoisomerase IV to induce selective irreversible DNA damage [PDF]

, 2006
Clerocidin (CL), a diterpenoid natural product, alkylates DNA through its epoxide moiety and exhibits both anticancer and antibacterial activities. We have examined CLaction in the presence of topoisomerase IV from Streptococcus pneumoniae.

DNA binding and cleavage mechanism of DNA topoisomerase VI, an evolutionary counterpart of Spo11/Wadjet/Gabija systems [PDF]

Structural Dynamics
Type II topoisomerases resolve DNA supercoiling and chromosome entanglements. Type IIB topoisomerases, exemplified by Top6, are used by plants and archaea to support endoreduplication and cell proliferation, respectively; homologs of Top6 subunits ...

The impact of the human DNA topoisomerase II C-terminal domain on activity [PDF]

, 2008
Background Type II DNA topoisomerases (topos) are essential enzymes needed for the resolution of topological problems that occur during DNA metabolic processes.

Our Evolving Understanding of the Mechanism of Quinolones

Antibiotics, 2018
The maintenance of DNA supercoiling is essential for the proper regulation of a plethora of biological processes. As a consequence of this mode of regulation, ahead of the replication fork, DNA replication machinery is prone to introducing supercoiled ...

Topoisomerase IIα promotes activation of RNA polymerase I transcription by facilitating pre-initiation complex formation [PDF]

, 2013
Type II DNA topoisomerases catalyse DNA double-strand cleavage, passage and re-ligation to effect topological changes. There is considerable interest in elucidating topoisomerase II roles, particularly as these proteins are targets for anti-cancer drugs.

DNA topoisomerase inhibitors: biflavonoids from Ouratea species

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002
Topoisomerase inhibitors are agents with anticancer activity. 7"-O-Methyl-agathisflavone (I) and amentoflavone (II) are biflavonoids and were isolated from the Brazilian plants Ouratea hexasperma and O. semiserrata, respectively.

Structural basis for allosteric regulation of Human Topoisomerase IIα

Nature Communications, 2021
Type 2 DNA topoisomerases (Top2) regulates DNA topology during DNA replication, transcription, and chromosome segregation. Here the authors describe a complete structure of the catalytic core of the human Topo IIα bound to DNA and etoposide, providing ...
