Binding of an Indenoisoquinoline to the Topoisomerase-DNA Complex Induces Reduction of Linker Mobility and Strengthening of Protein-DNA Interaction

TL;DR: The analyses demonstrated the role of the drug in conformationally stabilizing the protein-DNA interaction and the indenoisoquinoline keeps Lys532 far from the DNA, making it unable to participate in the religation reaction, indicating that both short- and long-range interactions contribute to the drug poisoning effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA and RNA Cleavage Complexes and Repair Pathway for TOP3B RNA- and DNA-Protein Crosslinks

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-trapping mutant of TOP3B (R338W-TOP3B) was found to induce R-loops, genomic damage, and growth defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenanthriplatin Acts As a Covalent Poison of Topoisomerase II Cleavage Complexes

TL;DR: The observation that phenanthriplatin can act as a Top2 poison highlights opportunities to design nonclassical platinum anticancer agents with this novel mechanism of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription profiling suggests that mitochondrial topoisomerase IB acts as a topological barrier and regulator of mitochondrial DNA transcription.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the long noncoding RNA species in the D-loop region are generated by the extension of H-strand transcripts beyond their canonical stop site and that TOP1MT acts as a topological barrier and regulator for mtDNA transcription and D- loop formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel clinical indenoisoquinoline topoisomerase I inhibitors: a twist around the camptothecins.

TL;DR: Interfacial inhibition, a molecular mechanism of action for a wide variety of natural products including TOP2 inhibitors, rapamycin, tubulin inhibitors and anesthetic drugs, is proposed.
