Details for DNA topoisomerase type I (single strand cut, ATP-independent) activity
5.6.2.1Gene ontology ID
GO:0003917
Definition
Catalysis of a DNA topological transformation by transiently cleaving one DNA strand at a time to allow passage of another strand; changes the linking number by +1 per catalytic cycle
Comment
Note that a further distinction, between type IA and type IB topoisomerases, is based on sequence or structural similarity between gene products that possess type I catalytic activity.
