Function |
Control of topological states of DNA by transient breakage and subsequent rejoining of DNA strands. Topoisomerase II makes double-strand breaks. Essential during mitosis and meiosis for proper segregation of daughter chromosomes. May play a role in regulating the period length of ARNTL/BMAL1 transcriptional oscillation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q01320, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18790802, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22013166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22323612}.
