Abstract excerpt
The human topoisomerase I N-terminal domain is the only part of the enzyme still not crystallized and the function of this domain remains enigmatical. In the present study, we have addressed the specific functions of individual N-terminal regions of topoisomerase I by characterizing mutants lacking amino acid residues 1-202 or 191-206 or having tryptophane-205 substituted by glycine in a broad variety of in vitro...
