Substrate accessibility regulation of human TopIIa decatenation by cohesin
2023-11-21
Abstract excerpt
Human topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2α) is the main mitotic decatenase 1–3 resolving intertwines between sister chromatids that form during DNA replication 4 . Here, we employ quadruple-trap optical tweezers to generate braids between a pair of λ-DNA molecules to study, at the single-molecule level and in real-time, how TOP2α untangles these DNAs. We find that TOP2α rapidly resolves single and multiple braids and i...
