    Abstract The control of DNA topology is a prerequisite for all the DNA transactions such as DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. This global control is carried out by essential enzymes, named DNA-topoisomerases, that are mandatory for the genome stability. Since many decades, the Archaea provide a significant panel of new types of topoisomerases such as the reverse gyrase, the type IIB or the type IC. These more or less recent discoveries largely contributed to change the understanding of the role of the DNA topoisomerases in all the living world. Despite their very different life styles, Archaea share a quasi-homogeneous set of DNA-topoisomerases, except thermophilic organisms that possess at least one reverse gyrase that is considered a marker of the thermophily. Here, we discuss the effect of the life style of Archaea on DNA structure and topology and then we review the content of these essential enzymes within all the archaeal diversity based on complete sequenced genomes available. Finally, we discuss their roles, in particular in the processes involved in both the archaeal adaptation and the preservation of the genome stability.

    Abstract DNA supercoiling must be precisely regulated by topoisomerases to prevent DNA entanglement. The interaction of type IIA DNA topoisomerases with two DNA molecules, enabling the transport of one duplex through the transient double-stranded break of the other, remains elusive owing to structures derived solely from single linear duplex DNAs lacking topological constraints. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we solved the structure of

    Abstract Reverse gyrase was discovered more than twenty years ago. Recent biochemical and structural results have greatly enhanced our understanding of their positive supercoiling mechanism. In addition to new biochemical properties, a fine tuning of reverse gyrase regulation in response to DNA damaging agents has been recently described. These data give us a new insight in the cellular role of reverse gyrase. Moreover, it has been proposed that reverse gyrase has been implicated in genome stability.

    Abstract Maintaining an appropriate DNA topology with DNA-based processes (DNA replication, transcription and recombination) is crucial for all three domains of life. In bacteria, the homeostatic regulation for controlling DNA supercoiling relies on antagonistic activities of two DNA topoisomerases, TopoI and gyrase. In hyperthermophilic crenarchaea, the presence of such a regulatory system is suggested as two DNA topoisomerases, TopoVI and reverse gyrase, catalyze antagonistic activities. To test this hypothesis, we estimated and compared the number of the TopoVI with that of the two reverse gyrases, TopR1 and TopR2, in Sulfolobus solfataricus cells maintained either at 80 or at 88°C, or reciprocally shifted from one temperature to the other. From the three DNA topoisomerases, TopR1 is the only one exhibiting significant quantitative variations in response to the up- and down-shifts. In addition, the corresponding intrinsic activities of these three DNA topoisomerases were tested in vitro at both temperatures. Although temperature modulates the three DNA topoisomerases activities, TopR1 is the sole topoisomerase able to function at high temperature. Altogether, results presented in this study demonstrate, for the first time, that the DNA topological state of a crenarchaeon is regulated via a homeostatic control, which is mainly mediated by the fine-tuning of TopR1.

    Abstract Reverse gyrases (RGs) are the only topoisomerases capable of generating positive supercoils in DNA. Members of the type IA family, they do so by generating a single-strand break in substrate DNA and then manipulating the two single strands to generate positive topology. Here, we use single-molecule experimentation to reveal the obligatory succession of steps that make up the catalytic cycle of RG. In the initial state, RG binds to DNA and unwinds ∼2 turns of the double helix in an ATP-independent fashion. Upon nucleotide binding, RG then rewinds ∼1 turn of DNA. Nucleotide hydrolysis and/or product release leads to an increase of 2 units of DNA writhe and resetting of the enzyme, for a net change of topology of +1 turn per cycle. Final dissociation of RG from DNA results in rewinding of the 2 turns of DNA that were initially disrupted. These results show how tight coupling of the helicase and topoisomerase activities allows for induction of positive supercoiling despite opposing torque.

    Abstract All the type IA topoisomerases display universal characteristics relying on a core region basically responsible for the transesterification and the strand passage reaction. First limited to the bacterial domain for a long time, these enzymes were further retrieved in Archaea and Eukarya as well. This is representative of an extremely ancient origin, probably due to an inheritance from the RNA world. As remaining evidence, some current topoisomerases IA have retained a RNA topoisomerase activity. Despite the presence of this core region in all of these TopoIAs, some differences exist and are originated from variable regions, located essentially within both extremities, conferring on them their specificities. During the last 2 decades the evidence of multiple activities and dedicated roles highlighted the importance of the topoisomerases IA. It is now obvious that topoisomerases IA are key enzymes involved in the maintenance of the genome stability. The discovery of these new activities was done thanks to the use of more accurate assays, based on new sophisticated DNA substrates.

    Abstract Escherichia coli aminopeptidase A (PepA) is a trigger enzyme endowed with catalytic activity and DNA-binding properties prominent in transcriptional regulation and site-specific DNA recombination. The current work demonstrates that PepA is a repressor in its own right, capable of specifically inhibiting transcription initiation at promoter P1 of the carAB operon, encoding carbamoylphosphate synthase. Furthermore, in vitro topology studies performed with DNA minicircles demonstrate that PepA binding constrains a single positive supercoil in the carP1 control region. Such a topological event is understood to constitute an impediment to transcription initiation and may serve as a mechanism to regulate gene expression.

    Abstract Sulfolobus solfataricus is an acidophilic hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon living at 80 °C in aerobic conditions. As other thermophilic organisms, S. solfataricus is resistant to gamma irradiation and we studied the response of this microorganism to this ionizing irradiation by monitoring cell growth, DNA integrity and proteome variations. In aerobic conditions, the S. solfataricus genome was fragmented due to the multiple DNA double strand breakages induced by γ-rays and was fully restored within a couple of hours. Comparison of irradiated and unirradiated cell proteomes indicated that only few proteins changed. The proteins identified by mass spectrometry are involved in different cellular pathways including DNA replication, recombination and repair. Interestingly, we observed that some proteins are irradiation dose-specific while others are common to the cell response regardless of the irradiation dose. Most of the proteins highlighted in these conditions seem to act together to allow an efficient cell response to γ-irradiation.

    Abstract Sulfolobus solfataricus, a hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon, contains two genes encoding reverse gyrases, topR1 and topR2. The steady-state level of their transcripts were quantified during the growth phases for cells maintained either at 72, or 80 degrees C, and after temperature changes from one to the other temperature. The transcripts of both genes are weakly expressed, but the highest level is observed in actively dividing cells, and is almost undetectable in cells in decline phase. During the temperature shift experiments, there is no significant topR2 variation. By contrast, there is a maximum 2.4-fold increase in topR1 transcripts within 30 min after the downshift. After 1 h, the transcript level reaches the level characteristic of cells adapted to the new temperature. After an upward shift, the topR1 expression pattern is inversely regulated with a transient decrease with the same time course. The topR1 expression profile is completely different from that of topR2 after temperature shift experiments; this suggests a different regulation process for the two reverse gyrase genes. The fine tuning of the topR1 transcript expression within a short interval of time after a temperature shift illustrates a rapid adaptation response to temperature change.
