3fv5 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli K-12. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
PARE_ECOLI Topoisomerase IV is essential for chromosome segregation. It relaxes supercoiled DNA. Performs the decatenation events required during the replication of a circular DNA molecule. MukB stimulates the relaxation activity of topoisomerase IV and also has a modest effect on decatenation.[1][2][3]
