Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the DNA gyrase B protein from B-stearothermophilus [PDF]
DNA gyrase B (GyrB) from B. stearothermophilus has been crystallized in the presence of the non-hydrolyzable ATP analogue, 5'-adenylpl-beta-gamma-imidodiphosphate (ADPNP), by the dialysis method.

TDP2 promotes repair of topoisomerase I-mediated DNA damage in the absence of TDP1 [PDF]
The abortive activity of topoisomerases can result in clastogenic and/or lethal DNA damage in which the topoisomerase is covalently linked to the 3'- or 5'-terminus of a DNA strand break. This type of DNA damage is implicated in chromosome translocations

Structural study of Topoisomerase IV-DNA-Levofloxacin complexes from Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
S. pneumoniae is an important pathogen causing pulmonary infection, acute otitis media and purulent meningitis in infants and children. Type II topoisomerases are enzymes that play essential roles in DNA replication, chromosome segregation and ...

“Breaking up is hard to do”: the formation and resolution of sister chromatid intertwines [PDF]
The absolute necessity to resolve every intertwine between the two strands of the DNA double helix provides a massive challenge to the cellular processes that duplicate and segregate chromosomes.

Topoisomerases and cancer chemotherapy: recent advances and unanswered questions
DNA topoisomerases are enzymes that catalyze changes in the torsional and flexural strain of DNA molecules. Earlier studies implicated these enzymes in a variety of processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including DNA replication, transcription ...

DNA-Topology Simplification by Topoisomerases
The topological properties of DNA molecules, supercoiling, knotting, and catenation, are intimately connected with essential biological processes, such as gene expression, replication, recombination, and chromosome segregation. Non-trivial DNA topologies

Controlled rotation mechanism of DNA strand exchange by the Hin serine recombinase. [PDF]
DNA strand exchange by serine recombinases has been proposed to occur by a large-scale rotation of halves of the recombinase tetramer. Here we provide the first direct physical evidence for the subunit rotation mechanism for the Hin serine invertase ...
