Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase (topo) II catalyzes topological changes in DNA. Although both human isozymes, topo IIα and β are phosphorylated, site-specific phosphorylation of topo IIβ is poorly characterized. Using LC-MS/MS analysis of topo IIβ, cleaved with trypsin, Arg C or cyanogen bromide (CNBr) plus trypsin, we detected four +80-Da modified sites: tyr656, ser1395, thr1426 and ser1545. Phosphorylation at ser1395, thr1426...
