Human DNA topoisomerase IIbeta binds and cleaves four-way junction DNA in vitro.

abstract：:Mammalian gene promoters for transcription by RNA polymerase II are typically organized in the following order: upstream sequence motif(s)/TATA box/initiation site. Here we report studies in which the order, orientation and DNA sequences of these three elements are varied to determine how these affect polarity of tran...
