Additional complications arise with contaminating nuclease activity (due to Mg++) which degrade or nick the supercoiled substrate. These problems can be avoided by using a catenated DNA substrate prepared from the kinetoplast of the insect trypanosome Crithidia fasciculata. KDNA is an aggregate of interlocked DNA minicircles (mostly 2.5 kb) that form extremely large networks of high molecular weight. As a result, these networks fail to enter an agarose gel. Upon incubation with topo II, which engages DNA in a double stranded breaking and reunion cycle, minicircular DNAs are effectively released (decatenated). The decatenated minicircles move rapidly into the gel owing to their small size. This reaction will not occur with topoisomerase I. TopoGEN has modified the original gel system described by Miller et al. (see below) to allow additional discrimination of activities using kDNA.

The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the apoptotic suppressors BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. This receptor mediates most of the metabolic effects of TNF-alpha. Isoform 2 blocks TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, which suggests that it regulates TNF-alpha function by antagonizing its biological activity...
