Nonclassic Functions of Human Topoisomerase I: Genome-Wide and Pharmacologic Analyses
15 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The biological functions of nuclear topoisomerase I (Top1) have been difficult to study because knocking out TOP1 is lethal in metazoans. To reveal the functions of human Top1, we have generated stable Top1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) cell lines from colon and breast carcinomas (HCT116-siTop1 and MCF-7-siTop1, respectively). In those clones, Top1 is reduced approximately 5-fold and Top2alpha compensates for...
