Entry terms

  • DNA Topoisomerase (ATP-Hydrolysing)
  • DNA Topoisomerase II
  • DNA Type 2 Topoisomerase
  • Topoisomerase II
  • Type II DNA Topoisomerase

Scope note

  • DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands. These enzymes bring about relaxation of the supercoiled DNA and resolution of a knotted circular DNA duplex.
