Annotation
do not confuse entry term DNA UNTWISTING PROTEIN with DNA UNWINDING PROTEINS see DNA HELICASES; coordinate with BACTERIAL PROTEINS or ARCHAEAL PROTEINS if pertinent
Scope Note
DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix.
