FIRST RESULTS ABOUT TOPOISOMERASE ACTIVITY IN ASTACUS ASTACUS AND AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPES AS A BIOMARKER FOR CRAYFISH VIABILITY

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2004
A comparative study of topoisomerase activity in two European crayfish species Astacus astacus and Austropotamobius pallipes was carried out to determine the physiological basis of the difference in ecological fitness of these systematically related ...

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 ...

THE ROLE OF EFFLUX PUMP AND OTHER MECHANISMS OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE TO (FLUORO)QUINOLONES IN EPIDEMIC ISOLATES OF SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM, SALMONELLA KENTUCKY AND SALMONELLA INFANTIS

Archives of Veterinary Medicine, 2015
This paper briefly describes mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones in several worldwide distributed Salmonella clones. The isolates have acquired multiple resistance traits over the years due to extensive antibiotic treatment both in human and ...

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 ...

Amsacrine Derivatives Selectively Inhibit Mycobacterial Topoisomerase I (TopA), Impair M. smegmatis Growth and Disturb Chromosome Replication

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Amsacrine, which inhibits eukaryotic type II topoisomerase via DNA intercalation and stabilization of the cleavable topoisomerase-DNA complex, promotes DNA damage and eventually cell death.

Structures of topoisomerase V in complex with DNA reveal unusual DNA-binding mode and novel relaxation mechanism

eLife, 2022
Topoisomerase V is a unique topoisomerase that combines DNA repair and topoisomerase activities. The enzyme has an unusual arrangement, with a small topoisomerase domain followed by 12 tandem (HhH)2 domains, which include 3 AP lyase repair domains.

Topoisomerases in kinetoplastids

Parasitology Today, 1996
Topoisomerases are enzymes that mediate topological changes in DNA that are essential for nucleic acid biosynthesis and for cell survival. The kinetoplastid protozoa, which include pathogenic trypanosomes and Leishmania, have yielded an interesting variety of purified topoisomerase activities as well as several topoisomerase genes.

Simple and Fast DNA Based Sensor System for Screening of Small-Molecule Compounds Targeting Eukaryotic Topoisomerase 1

Pharmaceutics, 2021
Background: Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 is a potential target of anti-parasitic and anti-cancer drugs. Parasites require topoisomerase 1 activity for survival and, consequently, compounds that inhibit topoisomerase 1 activity may be of interest.
