Evidence on the chromosomal location of centromeric DNA in Plasmodium falciparum from etoposide-mediated topoisomerase-II cleavage
14 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Centromeres are the chromosomal loci that facilitate segregation, and, in most eukaryotes, they encompass extensive regions of genomic DNA. Topoisomerase-II has been identified as a crucial regulator of segregation in a wide range of organisms and exhibits premitotic accumulation at centromeres. Consistent with this property, treatment of cells with the topoisomerase-II inhibitor etoposide promotes chromosomal...
