Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerases maintain topological homeostasis of bacterial chromosomes by catalysing changes in DNA linking number. The resolution of RNA entanglements occurring in the cell would also require catalytic action of topoisomerases. We describe RNA topoisomerase and hydrolysis activities in DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) from mycobacteria. The interaction of topo I with mRNA, tRNA and rRNA suggested its role in some...
