Abstract excerpt
Human tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1) hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond between a DNA 3' end and a tyrosyl moiety. In eukaryotic cells, this type of linkage is found in stalled topoisomerase I-DNA covalent complexes, and Tdp1 has been implicated in the repair of such complexes in vivo. We confirm here that the Tdp1 catalytic cycle involves a covalent reaction intermediate in which a histidine residue is...
