MECHANISM AND ACTIVITY OF DNA TOPOISOMERASES |
Type-1A Topoisomerases |
||
Type-1A topoisomerases interact and cleave single-stranded DNA regions......., ..................
E.coli topo I / E.coli topo III / Sc topo III / Human topo IIIa / human topo IIIb
|
||
Type-1B Topoisomerases |
||
Type-1B topoisomerases interact with duplex DNA and break one of the strands allowing one severed DNA end to pivot about the uncleaved strand. .............
|
||
Type-2A Topoisomerases |
||
Type-2A topoisomerases are functional homodimers and use ATP. ..............
