Rhythmic binding of Topoisomerase I impacts on the transcription of Bmal1 and circadian period

The Bmal1 gene is essential for the circadian system, and its promoter has a unique open chromatin structure. We examined the mechanism of topoisomerase I (Top1) to understand the role of the unique chromatin structure in Bmal1 gene regulation. Camptothecin, a Top1 inhibitor, and Top1 small interfer...
