Abstract excerpt
The role of lysine 369 of human topoisomerase IB in recognizing, clamping and processing its DNA substrate was experimentally investigated. Lys(369) is located in one of the two lips that interact to each other allowing the protein to embrace and firmly bind the DNA substrate. The lysine was mutated to a glutamate residue and the catalytic activity of the mutant enzyme was assayed. The mutant shows a distributive...
