A poxvirus-like type IB topoisomerase family in bacteria.
We report that diverse species of bacteria encode a type IB DNA topoisomerase that resembles vaccinia virus topoisomerase. Deinococcus radiodurans topoisomerase IB (DraTopIB), an exemplary member of this family, relaxes supercoiled DNA in the absence of a divalent cation or ATP. DraTopIB has a compact size (346 aa) and is a monomer in solution. Mutational analysis shows that the active site of ...
متن کاملStructural insights into the effects of charge-reversal substitutions at the surface of horseradish peroxidase
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), has gained significant interests in biotechnology, especially in biosensor field and diagnostic test kits. Hence, its solvent-exposed lysine residues 174, 232, and 241 have been frequently modified with the aim of improving its stability and catalytic efficiency. In this computational study, we investigated the effects of Lys-to-Glu substitutions on HRP structure t...
متن کاملRapid microtiter assays for poxvirus topoisomerase, mammalian type IB topoisomerase and HIV-1 integrase: application to inhibitor isolation.
We have developed microtiter assays for detecting catalysis by type IB topoisomerases and retroviral integrases. Each assay employs model DNA substrates containing biotin in one strand and digoxigenin in another. In each case action of the enzyme results in the formation of a single DNA strand containing both groups. This allows the reaction product to be quantified by capturing biotinylated pr...
متن کاملthe effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance
this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
15 صفحه اولNovel and specific inhibitors of a poxvirus type I topoisomerase.
Vaccinia DNA topoisomerase (vTopo) is a prototypic pox virus family topoisomerase that shares extensive structural and mechanistic properties with the human type IB enzyme (hTopo) and is important for viral replication. Despite their far-reaching similarities, vTopo and hTopo have surprisingly distinct pharmacological properties. To further exploit these differences, we have developed recently ...
