Acrylamide catalytically inhibits topoisomerase II in V79 cells

open access: yes, 2010
The vinyl monomer acrylamide is characterized by the presence of an alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl group that makes it reactive towards thiol, hydroxyl or amino groups and towards the nucleophilic centers in DNA.

Coordinating the Two Protomer Active Sites of Human Topoisomerase IIα: Nicks as Topoisomerase II Poisons

open access: yes, 2016
Topoisomerase II modulates DNA topology by generating double-stranded breaks in DNA. Results of the current study indicate that the presence of a nick at one scissile bond dramatically increases the rate of cleavage by human topoisomerase IIα at the ...

Single-molecule FRET–based approach for protein-targeted drug discovery

open access: yesMolecules and Cells
: Many therapeutic drugs target various proteins involved in diverse biological processes. Among these proteins, type II topoisomerases are critical targets for anticancer and antibacterial chemotherapies, yet the action mechanisms of many type II ...

A novel homogenous assay for topoisomerase II action and inhibition

open access: yes, 2005
Topoisomerase II is the only enzyme able to cleave and religate double-stranded DNA; this makes it essential for many vital functions during normal cell growth.

Benzothiazole derivatives as human DNA topoisomerase II alpha inhibitors

open access: yes, 2013
Benzothiazole derivatives resembling the structure of DNA purine bases were tested to determine their topoisomerase inhibition activities. Based on DNA topoisomerase I and II relaxation assay results, all 12 derivatives acted as human topoisomerase II ...

Determination of Decatenation Activity of Topoisomerase II Mutant Alleles

open access: yes, 2013
iv, 45 p.Topoisomerases are the magicians of the DNA world, functioning as enzymes to decatenate, or unlink, DNA. Topoisomerase II is the enzyme responsible for unlinking double stranded DNA, which is crucial for segregation of sister chromatids in ...

Autoantibodies to DNA topoisomerase II in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yes, 1991
SUMMARY Sera from 58 children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis were examined for the presence of antibodies to DNA topoisomerase II. Eight sera were reactive in immunoblotting with purified human topoisomerase II and a protein encoded by

Amonafide Targeting NTSR1‐PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Attenuates Vascular Remodeling in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease driven by pulmonary vascular remodeling, largely due to the abnormal proliferation and phenotypic switching of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Methods Levels of topoisomerase
