Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus can be used for studying pivotal biological process such as-replication, transcription, recombination as well as DNA structure and topology which includes chromatin reconstitution in vitro and the degree of supercoiling of DNA.[1] Additionally, the product helps in relaxing the DNA coils and exposes the restriction sites which facilitates in enhancing the restriction endonuclease digestion of resistant DNA. It is also used for assaying mutant plasmids which differ in length by only one base-pair.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus also refers as TOPO®I is a type I DNA topoisomerase, which cleaves DNA at the preferred sequence [5′(C/T)CCTTI]. The product assists in releasing the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA by cleaving and religating the phosphodiester bonds in a single strand of DNA.[2][3]
Topoisomerase I relaxes supercoiled DNA molecules. The enzyme initiates transient breakages and rejoins of phosphodiester bonds in superhelical turns of closed-circular DNA. Enzyme activity is independent of right- and left-handed superhelices.
Unit Definition
One unit coverts 1 μg of supercoiled closed circular (Form I) pUC19 DNA to relaxed closed circular form (Form II) in 1 hr at 37 °C.
Physical form
Solution in 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.5, containing 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 50% glycerol.

Vaccinia topoisomerase forms a covalent DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate at a pentapyrimidine target site 5'-CCCTTp downward arrow in duplex DNA. By introducing single 2'-5' phosphodiesters in lieu of a standard 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage, we illuminate the contributions of phosphodiester connectivity to DNA

The specificity of vaccinia topoisomerase for transesterification to DNA at the sequence 5'-CCCTT and its versatility in strand transfer have illuminated the recombinogenic properties of type IB topoisomerases and spawned topoisomerase-based strategies for DNA cloning. Here we characterize a pathway
