Characterization of a pathway of genomic instability induced by R-loops and its regulation by topoisomerases in E. coli.
The prototype enzymes of the ubiquitous type IA topoisomerases (topos) family are Escherichia coli topo I (topA) and topo III (topB). Topo I shows preference for relaxation of negative supercoiling and topo III for decatenation. However, as they could act as backups for each other or even share func...
