Abstract

DNA ligation by DNA topoisomerase I was investigated employing synthetic DNA substrates containing a single strand nick. Site-specific cleavage of the DNA by topoisomerase I in proximity to the nick resulted in uncoupling of the cleavage and ligation reactions of the enzyme, thereby trapping the covalent enzyme-DNA intermediate. DNA cleavage could be reversed by the addition of acceptor oligonucleotides containing a free 5'-OH group and ...
