African swine fever virus (ASFV) is an infectious disease with a mortality rate of nearly 100% in pigs; however, no safe commercial vaccines or antiviral drugs are currently available, which seriously threatens the global pig industry. Therefore, effective biologicals against ASFV are urgently ne...

The discovery that enhancers are regulated transcription units, encoding eRNAs, has raised new questions about the mechanisms of their activation. Here, we report an unexpected molecular mechanism that underlies ligand-dependent enhancer activation, based on DNA nicking to relieve torsional stress f...

Analysis of topoisomerase function in bacterial replication fork movement: use of DNA microarrays. We used DNA microarrays of the Escherichia coli genome to trace the progression of chromosomal replication forks in synchronized cells. We found that both DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) prom...

Topoisomerases are crucial to solve DNA topological problems, but they have not been linked to RNA metabolism. Here we show that human topoisomerase 3M-NM-2 (Top3M-NM-2) is an RNA topoisomerase that biochemically and genetically interacts with FMRP, a protein deficient in Fragile X syndrome and know...

Pharmacogenomic identification of targets for adjuvant therapy with the topoisomerase poison camptothecin. The response of tumor cells to the unusual form of DNA damage caused by topoisomerase poisons such as camptothecin (CPT) is poorly understood, and knowledge regarding which drugs can be effecti...

DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) catalyzes a strand passage reaction in that one duplex is passed through a transient brake in another. Completion of late stages of neuronal development depends on the presence of active isoform (topo IIbeta). We identified topo IIbeta action sites on 7 selected genomi...

Topoisomerase I (Top1) relaxes both positive and negative supercoilings by producing transient Top1 cleavage complexes (Top1cc). Several studies have suggested the implication of Top1 in splicing. Here, we tested the implication of Top1cc in splicing at the global genome level in human carcinoma cel...

Mice lacking topoisomerase IIbeta (Top IIbeta) are known to exhibit a perinatal death phenotype. In the current study, transcription profiles of the brains of wild type and top2beta knockout mouse embryos were generated. Surprisingly, only a small number (1-4%) of genes were affected in top2beta kno...

Topoisomerases are necessary for the expression of neurodevelopmental genes, and are mutated in some patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We have studied the effects of inhibitors of Topoisomerase 1 (Top1) and Topoisomerase 2 (Top2) enzymes on mouse cortical neurons. We find that topoisomer...
