Similar sequence specificity of mitoxantrone and VM-26 stimulation of in vitro DNA cleavage by mammalian DNA topoisomerase II
1 Mar 1993
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism of topoisomerase II trapping by antitumor drugs probably involves the formation of a ternary complex DNA-drug-topoisomerase II. Recent studies support the view that a drug molecule might be placed at the DNA cleavage site interacting with the two flanking base pairs and amino acid residues of the enzyme. In this work, the DNA sequence-dependent action of mitoxantrone on topoisomerase II...
