How can you use “zd” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
E. coli topoisomerase I can catalyze catenation of double-stranded DNA circles if the molecules contain single-strand scissions [ 15 16 ] . To test if the Top67 can carry out double-stranded DNA passage at enzyme cleavage sites across from the DNA nicks, the yield of DNA catenanes were compared with that obtained with topoisomerase I. In contrast to the relaxation activity, the catenating activity of Top67 shown in figure 6was as efficient as that of full-length topoisomerase I, and the addition of the ZD domain had no effect (Figure 6a).
However, it is possible that some enzyme preparations may contain bound Mg 2+and the low concentration of bound Mg 2+might have been sufficient for reversal of cleavage, as postulated previously to explain the data [ 14 ] . The results of this cleavage reversal experiment (Figure 5) indicated that the ZD domain was not required for efficient reversal of cleavage and Top67 could carry out religation of cleaved DNA.
The requirement of specific protein-protein interactions between the two domains could also account for the weak relaxation activity observed for the hybrid topoisomerase with ZD linked to topoisomerase III sequence [ 21 ] .
Top67 and ZD domains have comparable binding affinities to single-stranded DNA but significantly different affinities for double-stranded DNA
Partial relaxation of the input supercoiled DNA was detected when Top67 was mixed with the ZD domain prior to addition of DNA.
