Background
This gene encodes a DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This enzyme catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of a single strand of DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another, thus altering the topology of DNA. This gene is localized to chromosome 20 and has pseudogenes which reside on chromosomes 1 and 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP-independent breakage of single-stranded DNA, followed by passage and rejoining.,disease:A chromosomal aberration involving TOP1 is found in a form of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome. Translocation t(11;20)(p15;q11) with NUP98.,enzyme regulation:Specifically inhibited by camptothecin (CPT), a plant alkaloid with antitumor activity.,function:The reaction catalyzed by topoisomerases leads to the conversion of one topological isomer of DNA to another.,miscellaneous:Eukaryotic topoisomerase I and II can relax both negative and positive supercoils, whereas prokaryotic enzymes relax only negative supercoils.,miscellaneous:When a topoisomerase transiently breaks a DNA backbone bond, it simultaneously forms a protein-DNA link, in which a tyrosyl oxygen in the enzyme is joined to a DNA phosphorus at one end of the enzyme-severed DNA strand.,PTM:Sumoylated.
