Popis: Summary Accumulation of topological stress in the form of DNA supercoiling is inherent to the advance of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and needs to be resolved by DNA topoisomerases to sustain productive transcriptional elongation. Topoisomerases are therefore considered positive facilitators of transcription. Here, we show that, in contrast to this general assumption, human topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) activity at promoters represses transcription of immediate early genes such as c-FOS, maintaining them under basal repressed conditions. Thus, TOP2A inhibition creates a particular topological context that results in rapid release from promoter-proximal pausing and transcriptional upregulation, which mimics the typical bursting behavior of these genes in response to physiological stimulus. We therefore describe the control of promoter-proximal pausing by TOP2A as a layer for the regulation of gene expression, which can act as a molecular switch to rapidly activate transcription, possibly by regulating the accumulation of DNA supercoiling at promoter regions.
Graphical abstract
Highlights • Catalytic inhibition of TOP2A results in a global reduction in promoter-proximal pausing • Catalytic inhibition of TOP2A upregulates transcription of immediate early genes (IEGs) • IEG upregulation occurs independently of DNA breaks or cellular stress • IEG upregulation depends on the accumulation of negative supercoiling at promoter regions
Herrero-Ruiz et al. analyze the function of DNA topoisomerase II in transcriptional regulation. The results reveal that TOP2A activity favors promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II and repression of immediate early genes in a mechanism that is independent of DNA break formation and involves the control of DNA supercoiling at promoters.
