Eukaryotic Preferential, cooperative binding of DNA topoisomerase II to scaffold-associated regions.

Functionally, it is an ATP-independent DNA single-strand endonuclease and ligase that functions mainly during transcription but also during DNA replication. The discovery of the enzyme telomerase (Figure 14.16) helped in the understanding of how chromosome ends are maintained. Under all conditions employed, approximately 90% of the bound type I .

In bacteria, topoisomerase I belonging to the type IA subfamily relaxes the negative supercoiling generated by transcription behind the RNA polymerase complex to prevent the formation of DNA-RNA hybrids/R-loops that in turn can inhibit the transcription process [ 6, 10, 12, 13, 14 ]. Made with by Sagar Aryal. sequences account for an average of 12% of the prokaryotic genome, as opposed Imagine twisting a rubber band so that it forms tiny coils.

A loop of a double-stranded DNA segment will become contorted if one end of it is turned around its helical axis at that end while the other end is kept stationary in space (much like the spatial coiling of a rubber tubing when similarly handled). Refers to a structure in a double-stranded DNA segment in which a single-stranded RNA pairs with a portion of one DNA strand to displace a portion of the other DNA strand in a single-stranded state.
