EC 5.6.2.2     
Accepted name: DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Reaction: ATP-dependent breakage, passage and rejoining of double-stranded DNA
Other name(s): type II DNA topoisomerase; DNA-gyrase; deoxyribonucleate topoisomerase; deoxyribonucleic topoisomerase; topoisomerase; DNA topoisomerase II
Systematic name: DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Comments: The enzyme can introduce negative superhelical turns into double-stranded circular DNA. One unit has nicking-closing activity, and another catalyses super-twisting and hydrolysis of ATP (cf. EC 5.6.2.1 DNA topoisomerase).
