Topoisomerase IIβ binding to DNA has been analysed by surface plasmon resonance for the first time. Three DNA substrates with different secondary structures were studied, a 40 bp oligonucleotide, a four way junction and a 189 bp bent DNA fragment. We also compared the DNA binding kinetics of both human topoisomerase isoforms under identical conditions. Both α and β isoforms exhibited similar binding kinetics, with average equilibrium dissociation constants ranging between 1.4 and 2.9 nM. We therefore conclude that neither isoform has any preference for a specific DNA substrate under the conditions used in these experiments. © 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
