Saccharomyces cerevisiaecells that are mutated atTOP3, a gene that encodes a protein homologous to bacterial type I topoisomerases, have a variety of defects, including reduced growth rate, altered gene expression, blocked sporulation, and elevated rates of mitotic recombination at several loci. The rate of ectopic recombination between two unlinked, homeologous loci,SAM1andSAM2, is sixfold higher in cells containing atop3null mutation than in wild-type cells. Mutations in either of the two other known topoisomerase genes inS. cerevisiae, TOP1andTOP2, do not affect the rate of recombination between theSAMgenes. Thetop3mutation also changes the distribution of recombination events between theSAMgenes, leading to the appearance of novel deletion-insertion events in which conversion tracts extend beyond the coding sequence, replacing the DNA flanking the3'end of oneSAMgene with nonhomologous DNA flanking the3fend of the other. The effects of thetop3null mutation on recombination are dependent on the presence of an intactRADIexcision repair gene, because both the rate ofSAMectopic gene conversion and the conversion tract length were reduced inradl top3mutant cells compared withtop3mutants. These results suggest that aRAD1-dependent function is involved in the processing of damaged DNA that results from the loss of Top3 activity, targeting such DNA for repair by recombination.
