Consequently, ...Topoisomerase 1 cleavage complexes (Top1-ccs) comprise a DNA-protein crosslink and a single-stranded DNA break that can significantly impact the DNA replication machinery (replisome). Consequently, inhibitors that trap Top1-ccs are used extensively in research and clinical settings to generate DNA replication stress, yet how the replisome responds upon collision with a Top1-cc remains obscure. By reconstituting collisions between budding yeast replisomes, assembled from purified proteins, and site-specific Top1-ccs, we have uncovered mechanisms underlying replication fork stalling and collapse. We find that stalled replication forks are surprisingly stable and that their stability is influenced by the template strand that Top1 is crosslinked to, the fork protection complex proteins Tof1-Csm3 (human TIMELESS-TIPIN), and the convergence of replication forks. Moreover, nascent-strand mapping and cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) of stalled forks establishes replisome remodeling as a key factor in the initial response to Top1-ccs. These findings have important implications for the use of Top1 inhibitors in research and in the clinic. |
