TopoIIA_Trans_ScTopoIIA: Transducer domain, having a ribosomal S5 domain 2-like fold, of the type found in proteins of the type IIA family of DNA topoisomerases similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Topo IIA. S. cerevisiae Topo IIA is a homodimer encoded by a single gene. The type IIA enzymes are the predominant form of topoisomerase and are found in some bacteriophages, viruses and archaea, and in all bacteria and eukaryotes. All type IIA topoisomerases are related to each other at amino acid sequence level, though their oligomeric organization sometimes differs. TopoIIA enzymes cut both strands of the duplex DNA to remove (relax) both positive and negative supercoils in DNA. These enzymes covalently attach to the 5' ends of the cut DNA, separate the free ends of the cleaved strands, pass another region of the duplex through this gap, then rejoin the ends. TopoIIA enzymes also catenate/ decatenate duplex rings. This transducer domain is homologous to the second domain of the DNA gyrase B subunit, which is known to be important in nucleotide hydrolysis and the transduction of structural signals from ATP-binding site to the DNA breakage/reunion regions of the enzymes.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
