DNA topoisomerase I is purified from E.coli strain containing Vaccinia topoisomerase I gene.
Vaccinia DNA topoisomerase I is a type I eukaryotic topoisomerase that removes positive and negative supercoiling from covalently closed DNA. The DNA topoismerase I mediates ATP-independent breakage of single-stranded DNA, followed by passage and rejoining. 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.Concentration & Storage Condition- 10 unit/㎕.
