Reversible activity of SsoTopA. (A) Kinetics of DNA melting catalyzed by SsoTopA. The pTZ18R substrate relaxed by SsoTopA (molar ratio of 2:1) at 75°C was further incubated at 95°C in the presence of TopA for the time indicated above each corresponding lane. (B) Kinetics of DNA re-annealing catalyzed by TopA. The reaction mix (SsoTopA and resulting products obtained after 8 min at 95°C, panel (A) was further incubated at 75°C. The incubation times are indicated above each corresponding lane. The reaction products were analyzed by one dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis: OC indicates open circular (nicked) DNA, Rel, the relaxed topoisomers and -SC the negatively supercoiled DNA. FI* and FI** are the unlinked DNA species.
