Epigenetic control of Topoisomerase 1 activity presents a cancer vulnerability
2024-10-25
Abstract excerpt
DNA transactions introduce torsional constraints that pose an inherent risk to genome integrity. While topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) activity is essential for removing DNA supercoiling, aberrant stabilization of TOP1:DNA cleavage complexes (TOP1ccs) can result in cytotoxic DNA lesions. What protects genomic hot spots of topological stress from aberrant TOP1 activity remains unknown. Here, we identify chromatin context as...
