Increased negative supercoiling of mtDNA in TOP1mt knockout mice and presence of topoisomerases II and II in vertebrate mitochondria
6 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerases are critical for replication, DNA packing and repair, as well as for transcription by allowing changes in DNA topology. Cellular DNA is present both in nuclei and mitochondria, and mitochondrial topoisomerase I (Top1mt) is the only DNA topoisomerase specific for mitochondria in vertebrates. Here, we report in detail the generation of TOP1mt knockout mice, and demonstrate that mitochondrial DNA...
