From: The role of the Zn(II) binding domain in the mechanism of E. coli DNA topoisomerase I
Partial restoration of relaxation activity by complementation of Top67 and ZD domains. (a). Agarose gel electrophoresis was carried out to analyze the relaxation reaction products after 1 h of incubation. Lane 1: supercoiled plasmid DNA with no protein added; lane 2: Top67 alone; lane 3: ZD alone. Lanes 4–7 (Top67 reconstituted with ZD) and lanes 8–11 (topoisomerase I) have 6, 1.2, 0.24 and 0.05 pmoles of proteins added. (b). Time course of relaxation reaction catalyzed by 6 pmoles of topoisomerase I, or Top67 reconstituted with ZD
