Escherichia coli expressing SOS-inducing mutant topoisomerase I was utilized to demonstrate that covalent protein-DNA complex accumulation results in oxidative damage. Hydroxyl radicals were detected following mutant topoisomerase induction. The presence of the Fe(2+) chelator 2,2'-dipyridyl and an iscS mutation affecting Fe-S cluster formation protect against topoisomerase I cleavage complex-mediated cell killing.
表达诱导SOS的突变拓扑异构酶I的大肠杆菌被用于证明共价蛋白-DNA复合物的积累会导致氧化损伤。在诱导突变拓扑异构酶后检测到了羟基自由基。Fe(2+)螯合剂2,2'-联吡啶的存在以及影响铁硫簇形成的iscS突变可保护细胞免受拓扑异构酶I切割复合物介导的细胞杀伤。
