Type 2 DNA topoisomerase 6 subunit A

UniProtKB accession:  O05208

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Relaxes both positive and negative supercoils and exhibits a strong decatenase and unknotting activity; it cannot introduce DNA supercoils (PubMed:7961685). ATP is absolutely required for DNA cleavage; the nonhydrolyzable analog AMP-PNP generates nicked or linear products from a supercoiled dsDNA substrate. Generates staggered two-nucleotide long 5' overhangs. The enzyme is covalently attached transiently to the 5'-ends of the cleaved strands (PubMed:11485995).
