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 ...

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 ...

DNA topoisomerases participate in fragility of the oncogene RET [PDF]

, 2013
Fragile site breakage was previously shown to result in rearrangement of the RET oncogene, resembling the rearrangements found in thyroid cancer. Common fragile sites are specific regions of the genome with a high susceptibility to DNA breakage under ...
