Description All eukaryotic topoisomerase I enzymes are monomeric enzymes, whereas the kinetoplastid family (Trypanosoma and Leishmania) possess an unusual bisubunit topoisomerase I. To determine what happens to the enzyme architecture and catalytic property if the two subunits are fused, and to explore the functional relationship between the two subunits, we describe here in vitro gene fusion of Leishmania bisubunit topoisomerase I into a single ORF encoding a new monomeric topoisomerase I (LdTOPIL-fus-S).
