Rabbit Anti-Topoisomerase I/FITC Conjugated antibody
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:
The reaction catalyzed by topoisomerases leads to the conversion of one topological isomer of DNA to another.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Diffuse nuclear localization with some enrichment in nucleoli. On CPT treatment, cleared from nucleoli into nucleoplasm. Sumolyated forms found in both nucleoplasm and nucleoli.
Post-translational modifications:
Sumoylated. Lys-117 is the main site of sumoylation. Sumoylation plays a role in partitioning TOP1 between nucleoli and nucleoplasm. Levels are dramatically increased on camptothecin (CPT) treatment.
DISEASE:
Note=A chromosomal aberration involving TOP1 is found in a form of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome. Translocation t(11;20)(p15;q11) with NUP98.
Similarity:
Belongs to the eukaryotic type I topoisomerase family.
