Abstract excerpt
DNA topoisomerase (topo) I is an essential nuclear protein and a target for anticancer drug camptothecin derivatives. As a nuclear protein, topo I is concentrated in the nucleolus. However, this nucleolar distribution of topo I is dynamic. It has been shown recently that topo I rapidly moves out of the nucleolus (nucleolar delocalization) in response to topo I inhibitors. In the present study, we demonstrated...
