UniProt functional annotation for P72525

UniProt code: P72525.

Organism: Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 4 (strain ATCC BAA-334 / TIGR4).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus.
 
Function: Topoisomerase IV is essential for chromosome segregation. It relaxes supercoiled DNA (PubMed:17375187, PubMed:20596531). Performs the decatenation events required during the replication of a circular DNA molecule. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17375187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20596531}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP-dependent breakage, passage and rejoining of double- stranded DNA.; EC=5.6.2.2; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17375187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20596531};
Activity regulation: Inhibited by quinolones, such as levofloxacin (PubMed:20596531). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20596531}.
Subunit: Heterotetramer composed of ParC and ParE (PubMed:17375187, PubMed:20596531). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17375187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20596531}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00937}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00937}.
Similarity: Belongs to the type II topoisomerase GyrA/ParC subunit family. ParC type 2 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00937}.
