Abstract excerpt
In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, topoisomerase III is encoded by a single gene, top3(+), which is essential for cell viability and proper chromosome segregation. Deletion of rqh1(+), which encodes the sole RecQ family helicase in S. pombe, suppresses the lethality caused by loss of top3. Here, we provide evidence suggesting that the lethality in top3 mutants is due to accumulation of aberrant DNA structures that...
