Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic type I DNA topoisomerase controls DNA topology by transiently breaking and resealing one strand of DNA at a time. During transcription and replication its action reduces the torsional stress derived from these activities. The association of DNA topoisomerase I with the nucleolus has been reported and this enzyme was shown to be involved in yeast rDNA metabolism. Here, we have investigated the in vivo...
