General description

Topoisomerase I relaxes supercoiled DNA molecules. The enzyme initiates transient breakages and rejoins of phosphodiester bonds in superhelical turns of closedcircular dsDNA.

Application

Suitable for:
  • Analsis of degree of DNA supercoiling
  • Forming knots and circles in single stranded DNA
  • Converting complementary single stranded DNA to double stranded, circular forms
  • Rejoining nicks in double-stranded DNA

Biochem/physiol Actions

Topoisomerase I relaxes supercoiled DNA molecules. The enzyme initiates transient breakages and rejoins of phosphodiester bonds in superhelical turns of closed-circular DNA. Enzyme activity is independent of right- and left-handed superhelices.

Other Notes

One unit will convert 1μg of supercoiled pGEM9Zf(−) plasmid DNA to the relaxed form in 30 min at 37 °C.
To preserve enzyme activity, avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and frequent temperature variations.
Topoisomerase I is supplied in a solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.9, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.5 M NaCl and 50% glycerol (v/v).
