abstract：:A type II topoisomerase is essential for decatenating DNA replication products, and it accomplishes this task by passing one DNA duplex through a transient break in a second duplex. The B' domain of topoisomerase II contains three highly conserved motifs, EGDSA, PL(R/K)GK(I/L/M)LNVR, and IMTD(Q/A)DXD. We have investig...
