We have found that mitotic recombination within the S. cerevisiae rDNA cluster (200 tandemly repeated 9.1 kb units) is strongly suppressed and that this suppression requires the combined action of DNA topoisomerases I and II. Strains with a null mutation in the TOP1 gene (encoding topoisomerase I) or a ts mutation in the TOP2 gene (encoding
topoisomerase
II) grown at a semipermissive temperature show 50- to 200-fold higher frequencies of mitotic recombination in rDNA relative to TOP+ controls. Suppression of recombination is specific to the rDNA because the recombination frequency at another tandem array, the CUP1 locus, at a simple HIS4 duplication, or among dispersed repeats (MAT and
HML
or HMR) is not elevated in top1 or top2 mutants. The high frequency of mitotic recombination within the rDNA cluster in
topoisomerase
mutants shows that both TOP1 and TOP2 are required for suppression of recombination in this region of the genome.
