MeSH definition : A bacterial DNA topoisomerase II that catalyzes ATP-dependent breakage of both strands
of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken
strands. Topoisomerase IV binds to DNA as a heterotetramer consisting 2 parC and 2
parE subunits. Topoisomerase IV is a decatenating enzyme that resolves interlinked
daughter chromosomes following DNA replication.;
MeSH synonym : topoisomerase iv; topoisomerase iv, dna; topo iv;
