Enzyme Information

3.6.4.12
DNA helicase.
based on mapping to UniProt O29238
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
-!- DNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind double-stranded DNA. -!- Some of them unwind duplex DNA with a 3' to 5' polarity (1,3,5,8), other show 5' to 3' polarity (10,11,12,13) or unwind DNA in both directions (14,15). -!- Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA (4,9). -!- May be identical with EC 3.6.4.13 (RNA helicase).
5.6.2.3
DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolyzing).
based on mapping to UniProt O29238
ATP-dependent breakage, passage and rejoining of double-stranded DNA.
-!- The enzyme can introduce negative superhelical turns into double- stranded circular DNA. -!- One unit has nicking-closing activity, and another catalyzes super- twisting and hydrolysis of ATP (cf. EC 5.6.2.2). -!- Formerly EC 5.99.1.3.
