Local sequence requirements for DNA cleavage by mammalian topoisomerase II in the presence of doxorubicin
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
Doxorubicin, a DNA-intercalator, is one of several anti-cancer drugs that have been found to stabilizes topoisomerase II cleavage complexes at drug-specific DNA sites. The distribution and DNA sequence environments of doxorubicin-stabilized sites were determined in the SV40 genome. The sites were found to be most concentrated in the major nuclear matrix-associated region and nearly absent in the vicinity of the...
