Topoisomerase IIbeta activates a subset of neuronal genes that are repressed in AT-rich genomic environment.

DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) catalyzes a strand passage reaction in that one duplex is passed through a transient brake or gate in another. Completion of late stages of neuronal development depends on the presence of active beta isoform (topo IIbeta). The enzyme appears to aid the transcriptional...
