Abstract excerpt
DNA topoisomerase (topo) I plays an important role in DNA metabolism by relieving the torsional restraints of DNA topology through ATP-independent single-strand DNA breakage. In the present study, we expressed human topo I in HeLa cells by fusing it to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). The EGFP-topo I fusion protein is functionally active in that it relaxes supercoiled plasmid DNA; forms complexes with...
