Structural insights into the gating of DNA passage by the topoisomerase II DNA-gate
Type II DNA topoisomerases (Top2s) direct the passage of one DNA duplex through another, which is important for resolving DNA entanglements. Here the authors combine X-ray crystallography and MD simulations and present the structure of the human Top2 DNA-gate in an open conformation and discuss mech...
