Description
This mutant version of topoisomerase recognizes the YCCTT motif in dsDNA. It cleaves after the last T in this motif, making a single stranded nick, and covalently binds to the 3' phosphate on that thymine.
Notes
This part needs to be placed behind an inducible promoter, since it is toxic to the cell and its own plasmid.
Source
This part comes from the smallpox genome. The cysteines have been mutated out and the 168th amino acid has been changed from aspartic acid to alanine. A his tag has been added to the end of this sequence.
