DNA topology: Topoisomerases keep it simple [PDF]

, 1997
The ability of type II DNA topoisomerases to perturb the equilibrium distributions of DNA topoisomers is a consequence of their ability to hydrolyse ATP.

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

A role for topoisomerase II alpha in chromosome damage in human cell lines [PDF]

, 2010
Human response to ionising radiation (IR) shows a wide variation. This is most clearly seen in the radiation-response of cells as measured by frequencies of chromosomal aberrations.

Supercoiled DNA recognition and cleavage control in topoisomerase VI

Nature Communications
Type II topoisomerases modulate DNA supercoiling and resolve chromosome entanglements. Type IIB topoisomerases, exemplified by DNA topoisomerase VI (Top6), are used by plants and archaea to support endoreduplication and cell proliferation, respectively ...

Topoisomerases inhibition and DNA binding mode of daunomycin–oligoarginine conjugate

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2020
Cancer is a major health issue adsorbing the attention of a biomedical research. To fight this disease, new drugs are developed, specifically tailored to target biological pathways or peculiar components of the tumour cells.

Tightening of DNA knots by supercoiling facilitates their unknotting by type II DNA topoisomerases [PDF]

, 2011
Using numerical simulations, we compare properties of knotted DNA molecules that are either torsionally relaxed or supercoiled. We observe that DNA supercoiling tightens knotted portions of DNA molecules and accentuates the difference in curvature ...

Mitochondria and Neuromast Tagging With Fluorescent Gallium‐Triapine Analogues: In Cellulo MP FLIM and Zebrafish Live Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...

Complete Pathway Refactoring and Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Anthracyclines for Modulation of Histone Eviction and DNA Damage Bioactivities

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic biology platform was established for the complete refactoring of complex anthracycline biosynthetic pathways in Streptomyces coelicolor using standardized, chemically synthetic DNA parts. This modular construction enabled streamlined combinatorial biosynthesis, yielding novel analogs that decouple DNA damage from chromatin damage (histone ...

Clinical Significance of Expression of Topoisomerase 2а in Breast Cancer

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
Topoisomerases are enzymes that control the topology of DNA. Topoisomerases are divided into types 1 and 2, depending on the mechanism of action. The article discusses the structure and mechanisms of the action of topoisomerases, the possibility of an ...

DNA topoisomerases as targets for anticancer drugs

, 2001
DNA topoisomerases are essential enzymes that regulate the conformational changes in DNA topology by catalysing the concerted breakage and rejoining of DNA strands during normal cellular growth.
