ICC/IF image of ab85038 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab85038, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. This antibody also gave a positive result in 4% PFA fixed (10 min) Hek293, HepG2 and MCF7 cells at 1µg/ml, and in 100% methnaol fixed (5 min) HeLa cells at 1µg/ml.

Topoisomerase I was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Hek293 whole cell extract, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to Topoisomerase I and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Hek293 whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab85038.

Topoisomerase I also known as DNA topoisomerase I or Topo I is an important enzyme in the unwinding of the DNA double helix during processes such as replication and transcription. This enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 91 kDa and functions by creating transient single-strand breaks in the DNA allowing relaxation of supercoils. Topoisomerase I is widely expressed in both proliferating and non-proliferating cells with higher levels seen in tissues with rapid cell division like the gastrointestinal tract and some immune cells.
Biological function summary

Topoisomerase I plays a significant role in the modulation of DNA topology ensuring proper chromosomal functions during cellular proliferation. It serves as a single polypeptide and does not require a companion for its activity unlike other topoisomerases that may function in complexes. The enzyme’s ability to relieve torsional stress in DNA is essential for maintaining genomic stability and facilitating the smooth progression of the replication fork.

Pathways

Topoisomerase I is vital for DNA replication and transcription processes. It works in concert with other proteins such as helicases and ligases to ensure efficient unwinding and rewinding of DNA strands. The enzyme participates in the DNA damage response pathway where it interacts with proteins like PARP1 to coordinate repair processes. Its action is important in both the S phase of the cell cycle where DNA synthesis occurs and in the G0 phase where cells are in a quiescent state.

Topoisomerase I is heavily implicated in oncogenesis with significant associations to colorectal and ovarian cancers. Its heightened activity can lead to genomic instability a hallmark of cancer development. The enzyme also relates to chemotherapeutic resistance where mutations in topoisomerase I lead to reduced drug efficacy. Furthermore inhibitors targeting topoisomerase I such as camptothecin-based drugs exploit its role in cancer aiming to induce DNA damage selectively in rapidly dividing cells. Connections to other proteins like BRCA1 are apparent in these pathways as they both contribute to the DNA repair processes in cells.

Target data

Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA introduced during the DNA replication and transcription by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 5'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then rotates around the intact phosphodiester bond on the opposing strand, thus removing DNA supercoils. Finally, in the religation step, the DNA 5'-OH attacks the covalent intermediate to expel the active-site tyrosine and restore the DNA phosphodiester backbone (By similarity). Regulates the alternative splicing of tissue factor (F3) pre-mRNA in endothelial cells. Involved in the circadian transcription of the core circadian clock component BMAL1 by altering the chromatin structure around the ROR response elements (ROREs) on the BMAL1 promoter.
