Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I (Top1p) catalyzes changes in DNA topology and is the cellular target of the antitumor drug camptothecin (Cpt). Mutation of several conserved residues in yeast top1 mutants is sufficient to induce cell lethality in the absence of camptothecin. Despite tremendous differences in catalytic activity, the mutant proteins Top1T722Ap and Top1R517Gp cause cell death via a mechanism similar...
