Abstract excerpt
In human cells, atypical drug resistance was previously identified with reduced catalytic activity or nuclear localization efficiency of DNA topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2 alpha). We have shown two etoposide resistant hTOP2 alpha mutants, K798L and K798P confer resistance to etoposide. In this work, we showed these mutants are also resistant against doxorubicin and mAMSA in vivo in the yeast strain ISE2, rad52,...
