The amino acid sequences of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the type II DNA topoisomerases are divergent and species specific as compared with the highly conserved N-terminal and central domains. A set of C-terminal deletion mutants of Leishmania donovani topoisomerase II was constructed. Removal of more than 178 amino acids out of 1236 amino acid residues from the C-terminus inactivates the enzyme, whereas removal of 118 amino acids or less has no apparent effect on the ability of the parasite… Expand
