Interthal H, Champoux J
Biochem J . 2011 Apr; 436(3):559-66. PMID: 21463258
TDP (tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase) 1 catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphodiester linkages between a DNA 3' phosphate and a tyrosine residue as well as a variety of other DNA 3' substituents, and...

Schultz S, Zhang M, Champoux J
J Mol Biol . 2010 Feb; 397(1):161-78. PMID: 20122939
The RNase H activity of reverse transcriptase is required during retroviral replication and represents a potential target in antiviral drug therapies. Sequence features flanking a cleavage site influence the three...

Schultz S, Zhang M, Champoux J
J Biol Chem . 2009 Sep; 284(47):32225-38. PMID: 19778906
The RNase H activity of reverse transcriptase carries out three types of cleavage termed internal, RNA 5' end-directed, and DNA 3' end-directed. Given the strong association between the polymerase domain...

Yang Z, Champoux J
Methods Mol Biol . 2009 Sep; 582:49-57. PMID: 19763941
To assay the preferential binding of eukaryotic type IB topoisomerases to supercoiled DNA, two methods are described that make use of a catalytically inactive mutant form of the enzyme. In...

Yang Z, Carey J, Champoux J
FEBS J . 2009 Sep; 276(20):5906-19. PMID: 19740104
Human topoisomerase I binds DNA in a topology-dependent fashion with a strong preference for supercoiled DNAs of either sign over relaxed circular DNA. One hypothesis to account for this preference...

Champoux J, Schultz S
FEBS J . 2009 Feb; 276(6):1506-16. PMID: 19228195
Retroviral reverse transcriptases possess both a DNA polymerase and an RNase H activity. The linkage with the DNA polymerase activity endows the retroviral RNases H with unique properties not found...

Kim H, Cardellina 2nd J, Akee R, Champoux J, Stivers J
Bioorg Chem . 2008 May; 36(4):190-7. PMID: 18508107
Human topoisomerase IB (hTopo) forms a covalent phosphotyrosyl linkage with the DNA backbone, and controls genomic DNA topology by relaxing DNA supercoils during the processes of DNA replication, transcription, chromosome...

Schultz S, Champoux J
Virus Res . 2008 Feb; 134(1-2):86-103. PMID: 18261820
This review compares the well-studied RNase H activities of human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) and Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) reverse transcriptases. The RNase H domains of HIV-1 and...

Hirano R, Interthal H, Huang C, Nakamura T, Deguchi K, Choi K, et al.
EMBO J . 2007 Oct; 26(22):4732-43. PMID: 17948061
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) cleaves the phosphodiester bond between a covalently stalled topoisomerase I (Topo I) and the 3' end of DNA. Stalling of Topo I at DNA strand breaks...

Paulson B, Zhang M, Schultz S, Champoux J
Virology . 2007 May; 366(2):361-76. PMID: 17532359
A distinctive property of reverse transcriptase is the ability to carry out strand displacement synthesis in the absence of accessory proteins such as helicases or single-strand DNA binding proteins. Structure-function...
