Leishmania actin binds and nicks kDNA as well as inhibits decatenation activity of type II topoisomerase
Leishmania actin (LdACT) is an unconventional form of eukaryotic actin in that it markedly differs from other actins in terms of its filament forming as well as toxin and DNase-1-binding properties. Besides being present in the cytoplasm, cortical regions, flagellum and nucleus, it is also present in the kinetoplast where it appears to associate with the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA). However, nothing...
متن کاملCondensin aids sister chromatid decatenation by topoisomerase II
The condensin complex is a key determinant of mitotic chromosome architecture. In addition, condensin promotes resolution of sister chromatids during anaphase, a function that is conserved from prokaryotes to human. Anaphase bridges observed in cells lacking condensin are reminiscent of chromosome segregation failure after inactivation of topoisomerase II (topo II), the enzyme that removes cate...
متن کاملInterlinked DNA nano-circles for measuring topoisomerase II activity at the level of single decatenation events
DNA nano-structures present appealing new means for monitoring different molecules. Here, we demonstrate the assembly and utilization of a surface-attached double-stranded DNA catenane composed of two intact interlinked DNA nano-circles for specific and sensitive measurements of the life essential topoisomerase II (Topo II) enzyme activity. Topo II activity was detected via the numeric release ...
متن کاملthe effect of lexical and grammatical collocation instruction through input flooding versus awareness raising on short-term and delayed retention as well a active use
this study attempted to explore if teaching english collocations through two different modes of awareness-raising and input flooding has any possible differential effect on immediate retention as well as retention in a delayed assessment. it also compared the possible differential effect of teaching english collocations implicitly and explicitly on actively using the items in writing. m...
15 صفحه اولOrganoplatinum(II) complexes with nucleobase motifs as inhibitors of human topoisomerase II catalytic activity.
Platinum(II) complexes bearing acetylide ligands containing nucleobase motifs are prepared and their impact on human topoisomerase II (TopoII) is evaluated. Both platinum(II) complexes [Pt(II)(C^N^N)(C≡CCH₂R)] (1a-c) and [Pt(II)(tBu₃terpy)(C≡CCH₂R)](+) (2a-c) (C^N^N=6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridyl, tBu₃terpy=4,4',4''-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl, and R=(a) adenine, (b) thymine, and (c) 2-amino...
