Topo IIβ Gets to Work
View through CrossRef
DNA topoisomerases regulate conformational changes in DNA topology by catalyzing DNA strand breakage and rejoining. Topoisomerase IIβ (Topo IIβ) alters DNA conformation near gene promoters and associates with sequence-specific transcription factors and chromatin modifying and remodeling factors. Ju
et al.
now show that DNA Topo IIβ generates double-strand breaks at transcriptional promoters when these genes are activated in a signal-dependent manner. Subsequently, DNA repair enzymes are activated and there is a resultant exchange in histone composition and local chromatin structure.
