Biochem/physiol Actions

Human DNA topoisomerase I catalyzes the relaxation of both positive and negative supercoils without the requirement of energy. In addition to DNA replication and transcriptional activation, DNA topoisomerase I also plays a major role in pre-mRNA splicing, recombination, chromatin remodeling and other DNA or RNA templating activities. The C terminal domain of DNA topoisomerase I spanning from amino acids 713 to 765 is highly conserved and connected to the core domain by a poorly conserved linker domain (residues 636-713). An active site tyrosine has been characterized at position 723. Mutation of this tyrosine to phenylalanine at position 723 causes topo I to preferentially bind the supercoiled DNA rather than relaxed DNA in the mixture of supercoiled and relaxed DNA.

Topoisomerases I promote the relaxation of DNA superhelical tension by introducing a transient single-stranded break in duplex DNA and are vital for the processes of replication, transcription, and recombination. The crystal structures at 2.1 and 2.5 angstrom resolution of reconstituted
J J Champoux
Annual review of biochemistry, 70, 369-413 (2001-06-08)
DNA topoisomerases solve the topological problems associated with DNA replication, transcription, recombination, and chromatin remodeling by introducing temporary single- or double-strand breaks in the DNA. In addition, these enzymes fine-tune the steady-state level of DNA supercoiling both to facilitate protein
