Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae TOP3 gene encodes the type IA topoisomerase (Top3p) that is highly conserved in evolution. Deletion of TOP3 leads to a reduction in cell viability, hyper-recombination between repetitive DNA sequences, and abnormalities in both cell cycle progression and responses to DNA damaging agents. Deletion of SGS1, encoding the sole RecQ family helicase in S. cerevisiae, strongly suppresses the...
