Chromatin remodeller SMARCA4 recruits topoisomerase 1 and suppresses transcription-associated genomic instability

Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) relieves superhelical tension when DNA strands are unwound during transcription. Here, Husain et al. report that SMARCA4, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeller, is associated with TOP1 and suppresses transcription-associated genomic instability.
