Abstract
Deletion of topA in Escherichia coli was found to result in a higher level of killing after treatment with either hydrogen peroxide or N-ethylmaleimide. This effect on oxidative challenge response represents a new role for E. coli DNA topoisomerase I in addition to prevention of excessive negative supercoiling of DNA.Entities:
