http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/17360915http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"DNA topoisomerase I is an essential nuclear enzyme involved in resolving the torsional stress associated with DNA replication, transcription, and chromatin condensation. Here we report the discovery of a seizure-suppressor mutant, top1(JS), which suppresses seizures in a Drosophila model of human epilepsy. A P-element mutagenesis screen using easily shocked seizure-sensitive mutant as a genetic background identified top1(JS), which plays a novel role in regulating nervous system excitability. Plasmid rescue, excision, complementation, and sequencing analyses verified that top1(JS) results from a P-element insertion in the 5' untranslated region. Quantitative reverse transcription analysis on wild-type and mutant fly heads showed that the top1(JS) mutation causes reduced transcription level in the CNS, suggesting a partial loss-of-function mutation. Electrophysiological experiments revealed normal seizure thresholds in top1(JS) mutants, which are different from other seizure suppressors identified previously, suggesting a novel mechanism underlying seizure suppression by top1(JS). The pharmacological camptothecin feeding experiment and cell death analysis suggested that the seizure suppression by top1(JS) may occur via increased neuronal apoptosis. Furthermore, overexpression of the DIAP1 (Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis 1) gene rescues top1(JS) suppression, providing additional support for a neural apoptosis suppression mechanism. The top1(JS) mutation is the first viable partial loss-of-function mutation identified in higher eukaryotes, and the results presented here point to a novel function for topo I in construction and/or maintenance of circuits required for seizure propagation in vivo."xsd:string
