Two type I topoisomerases maintain DNA topology in human mitochondria

KE Menger, J Chapman… - Nucleic Acids …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Genetic processes require the activity of multiple topoisomerases, essential enzymes that
remove topological tension and intermolecular linkages in DNA. We have investigated the …

The TDRD3-USP9X complex and MIB1 regulate TOP3B homeostasis and prevent deleterious TOP3B cleavage complexes

S Saha, SN Huang, X Yang, LK Saha, Y Sun… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
TOP3B is stabilized by TDRD3. Hypothesizing that TDRD3 recruits a deubiquitinase, we find
that TOP3B interacts with USP9X via TDRD3. Inactivation of USP9X destabilizes TOP3B …

Tdrd3-null mice show post-transcriptional and behavioral impairments associated with neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity

X Zhu, Y Joo, S Bossi, RA McDevitt, A Xie… - Progress in …, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract The Topoisomerase 3B (Top3b)-Tudor domain containing 3 (Tdrd3) protein

A dual-activity topoisomerase complex promotes both transcriptional activation and repression in response to starvation

S Su, Y Xue, SK Lee, Y Zhang, J Fan, S De… - Nucleic Acids …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Topoisomerases are required to release topological stress generated by RNA polymerase II
(RNAPII) during transcription. Here, we show that in response to starvation, the complex of …

RNA-binding protein Nocte regulates Drosophila development by promoting translation reinitiation on mRNAs with long upstream open reading frames

T Zhang, Y Xue, S Su, V Altouma, K Ho… - Nucleic Acids …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are linked to
multiple human disorders, but their mechanisms of action remain unclear. Here, we report …

RNA Targets and Function of Topoisomerase 3β in Reducing Cellular Stress

S Teimuri, B Suter - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Abstract Topoisomerase 3β (Top3β) relaxes DNA and RNA, and its dysregulation is
implicated in neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders. We used a novel protocol …

Topoisomerase 3b is dispensable for replication of a positive-sense RNA virus--murine coronavirus
