Abstract excerpt
Chlamydia trachomatis has a DNA topoisomerase I with a unique C-terminal domain (CTD) homologous to eukaryotic SWIB domains. This study focused on determining the function of the SWIB domain-containing TopA from C. trachomatis (CtTopA). We demonstrated that, despite the lack of sequence similarity at the CTDs between CtTopA and TopA from Escherichia coli (EcTopA), full-length CtTopA removed negative DNA...
