DNA Topoisomerases, Type II MeSH Descriptor Data 2024


MeSH Heading
DNA Topoisomerases, Type II
Tree Number(s)
D08.811.399.403.741
Unique ID
D004250
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004250
Scope Note
DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands. These enzymes bring about relaxation of the supercoiled DNA and resolution of a knotted circular DNA duplex.
Entry Term(s)
DNA Topoisomerase (ATP-Hydrolysing)
DNA Topoisomerase II
DNA Topoisomerase II alpha
DNA Topoisomerase II beta
DNA Type 2 Topoisomerase
TOP2A Protein

Topoisomerase II
Topoisomerase II alpha
Topoisomerase II beta
Type II DNA Topoisomerase
Registry Number
EC 5.99.1.3
