    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Topoisomerase IIβ (F6T3T) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total topoisomerase IIβ protein. Species reactivity for immunofluorescence is mouse only.

    Species Reactivity:

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro1587 of human topoisomerase IIβ protein.

    Background

    DNA topoisomerases I and II are nuclear enzymes; type II consists of two highly homologous isoforms: topoisomerase IIα and IIβ. These enzymes regulate the topology of DNA, maintain genomic integrity, and are essential for processes such as DNA replication, recombination, transcription, and chromosome segregation by allowing DNA strands to pass through each other (1). Topoisomerase I nicks and rejoins one strand of the duplex DNA, while topoisomerase II transiently breaks and closes double-stranded DNA (2). Topoisomerases are very susceptible to various stresses. Acidic pH or oxidative stress can convert topoisomerases to DNA-breaking nucleases, causing genomic instability and cell death. DNA-damaging topoisomerase-targeting drugs (e.g., etoposide) also convert topoisomerases to nucleases, with the enzyme usually trapped as an intermediate that is covalently bound to the 5+ end of the cleaved DNA strand(s). Research studies have shown that this intermediate leads to genomic instability and cell death. Thus, agents that target topoisomerases are highly sought-after cancer chemotherapeutic drugs (3). Moreover, an alanine to proline substitution at position 485 (A485P) of topoisomerase IIβ has been shown to impair early B cell development (4), and the catalytic activity of this protein modulates several oncogenes in human gliomas (5).
