Human DNA Topoisomerase I (Topo I) is a monomeric protein of 765 anino acids encoded by a single-copy gene.
Based on its function, DNA Topoisomerase I has been subdivided into four distinct domains.
The N terminal 214 amino acids of Topo I comprise a highly charged N-terminal domain involved in protein-protein interactions with a number of cellular proteins.
The highly conserved core domain expanded from amino acids 215 to 636 contains most catalytic residues and retains DNA binding activity.
The active C-terminal domain (residues 713-765) is connected to the core domain by a poorly conserved linker domain (residues 636-712).
Human DNA Topoi- somerase I is the best studied of the DNA Topoisomerase family.
It catalyzes the relaxation of both positive and negative supercoiled DNAs without the requirement of energy.
In addition to DNA replication and transcriptional activa- tion, DNA Topoisomerase I also plays a major role in pre-mRNA splicing, cell cycle and other gene regulatory pathways during cell growth and development.
Since Topo I can cause large amounts of single-strand DNA breaks and this kind of DNA damage closely relates to most cancer, it is therefore believed that DNA Topo I can be an important target for antitumor agents.
