Using energy to go downhill – a genoprotective role for ATPase activity in DNA topoisomerase II
2023-06-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4> S ummary </h4> Type II topoisomerases effect topological changes in DNA by cutting a single duplex, passing a second duplex through the break, and resealing the broken strand in an ATP-coupled reaction. Curiously, most type II topoisomerases (topos II, IV, and VI) catalyze DNA transformations that are energetically favorable, such as the removal of superhelical strain; why ATP is required for such reaction...
