Enzyme Information

5.99.1.3
DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolyzing).
based on mapping to UniProt Q8PUB7
ATP-dependent breakage, passage and rejoining of double-stranded DNA.
-!- 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 5.99.1.2).
