Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase IIIα (Top3α) is an essential component of the double Holliday junction (dHJ) dissolvasome complex in metazoans, along with Blm and Rmi1/2. This important anti-recombinogenic function cannot be performed by Top3β, the other type IA topoisomerase present in metazoans. The two share a catalytic core but diverge in their tail regions. To understand this difference in function, we investigated the role...
