Abstract

This entry represents the N-terminal DNA-binding domain found in eukaryotic topoisomerase I, which is a type IB enzymes. To cleave the DNA backbone, these enzymes must make a transient phosphotyrosine bond. The N-terminal domain of human topoisomerase I is thought to coordinate the restriction of free strand rotation during the topoisomerisation step of catalysis. A conserved tryptophan residue may be important for the DNA-interaction ability of the N-terminal domain [PubMed14741206]. Human topoisomerase I has been shown to be inhibited by camptothecin (CPT), a plant alkaloid with antitumour activity. A binding mode for the anticancer drug camptothecin has been proposed on the basis of chemical and biochemical information combined with the three-dimensional structures of topoisomerase I-DNA complexes [PubMed9488644].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.

Alignments of sequences to 2 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I, N-terminal DNA-binding fragment domain.

Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 2 hidden Markov models representing the Eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I, N-terminal DNA-binding fragment superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
