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).

Supercoiled and relaxed DNA were resolved electrophoretically in the presence of 0.5 micrograms/ml ethidium bromide. Under these conditions the Gaussian distributions of topological isomers of both supercoiled and relaxed DNA migrated as discrete bands. The separation of these DNAs was

The various problems of disentangling DNA strands or duplexes in a cell are all rooted in the double-helical structure of DNA. Three distinct subfamilies of enzymes, known as the DNA topoisomerases, have evolved to solve these problems. This review focuses

Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase I (Tdp1) plays a key role in the repair of damaged DNA resulting from the topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitor camptothecin and a variety of other DNA-damaging anticancer agents. This report documents the design, synthesis, and evaluation of new

Reverse gyrase is an ATP-dependent topoisomerase that is unique to hyperthermophilic archaea and eubacteria. The only reverse gyrase structure determined to date has revealed the arrangement of the N-terminal helicase domain and the C-terminal topoisomerase domain that intimately cooperate to

Vaccinia DNA topoisomerase IB (TopIB) relaxes supercoils by forming and resealing a covalent DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl(274))-enzyme intermediate. Conserved active site side chains promote the attack of Tyr274 on the scissile phosphodiester via transition state stabilization and general acid catalysis. Two essential side
