All eukaryotic topoisomerase I enzymes are monomeric enzymes, whereas the kinetoplastid family (TrypanosomaandLeishmania) possess an unusual bisubunit topoisomerase I. To determine what happens to the enzyme architecture and catalytic property if the two subunits are fused, and to explore the functional relationship between the two subunits, we describe herein vitro gene fusion of Leishmaniabisubunit topoisomerase I into a single ORF encoding a new monomeric topoisomerase I (LdTOPIL-fus-S). | ễFEBS Journal Leishmania donovani bisubunit topoisomerase I gene fusion leads to an active enzyme with conserved type IB enzyme function Benu B.

To determine what happens to the enzyme architecture and catalytic property if the two subunits are fused and to explore the functional relationship between the two subunits we describe here in vitro gene fusion of Leishmania bisubunit topoisomerase I into a single ORF encoding a new monomeric topoisomerase I LdTOPIL-fus-S . It was found that LdTOPIL-fus-S is active. Gene fusion leads to a significant modulation of in vitro topoisomerase I activity compared to the wild-type heterodimeric enzyme LdTOPILS . Interestingly an N-terminal truncation mutant 1-210 amino acids of the small subunit when fused to the intact large subunit LdTOPIL-fus-A 1-210 S showed reduced topoisomerase I activity and camptothecin sensitivity in comparison to LdTOPIL-fus-S. Investigation of the reduction in enzyme activity indicated that the nonconserved 1-210 residues of LdTOPIS probably act as a pseudolinker domain between the core and catalytic domain of the fused Leishmania enzyme .
