Topoisomerase IIa

Cat no: T8065-11A

Topoisomerase IIa

DNA topoisomerase I and II are nuclear enzymes, and type II consist of two highly homologous isoforms: topoisomerase IIa and IIb. These enzymes regulate the topology of DNA, maintain genomic integrity and are essential for processes such as DNA replication, recombination, transcription and chromosome segregation by allowing DNA strands to pass through each other (1). Topoisomerase I nicks and rejoins one strand of the duplex DNA, but topoisomerase II transiently breaks and closes double-stranded DNA (2). Topoisomerases are very susceptible to various stresses. Acidic pH or oxidative stress can convert topoisomerases to DNA-breaking nucleases, causing genomic instability and cell death. DNA-damaging topoisomerase targeting drugs (e.g. etoposide) also convert topoisomerases to nucleases, and the enzyme is usually trapped as an intermediate, covalently bound to the 5' end of the cleaved DNA strand(s). This intermediate leads again to genomic instability and cell death, and thus these agents that target topoisomerases are highly sought after cancer chemotherapeutic drugs (3). Ca2+ regulated phosphorylation of topoisomerase IIa Ser1106 modulates the activity of this enzyme as well as its sensitivity to targeting drugs (4).\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nFlow Cytometry: 1:25\nWestern Blotting: 1:1000\nImmunoprecipitation: 1:50\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
