Substrate accessibility regulation of human TopIIa decatenation by cohesin

Abstract Human topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2α) resolves DNA intertwines between sister chromatids during mitosis. How cohesin, an SMC complex that holds sister chromatids, affects TOP2α decatenation is unclear. To addres this, we developed a quadruple-trap optical tweezers assay to create DNA braids...
