Abstract
Topoisomerase activities have been measured in nuclear extracts of concanavalin A-stimulated lymphocytes. In parallel with the wave of DNA synthesis, type II topoisomerase activity was considerably increased. After 72 h treatment, this activity was stimulated approx. 20-fold over the activity in untreated cells. In contrast, type I topoisomerase was poorly stimulated after 24 h treatment, and 4-5-fold after 72 h. These findings, together with our previous results on regenerating rat liver, suggest a major role of topoisomerase II in DNA replication.Entities:
