    Genome topology is tied to R-loop formation and genome stability. However, the regulatory mechanism remains to be elucidated. By establishing a system to sense the connections between R-loops and genome topology states, we show that inhibiting DNA topoisomerase 1 (TOP1i) triggers the global increase of R-loops (called topoR-loops) and DNA damages, which are exacerbated in the DNA damage repair-compromised mutant atm. A suppressor screen identifies a mutation in POL2A, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ε, rescuing the TOP1i-induced topoR-loop accumulation and genome instability in atm. Importantly we find that a highly conserved junction domain between the exonuclease and polymerase domains in POL2A is required for modulating topoR-loops near DNA replication origins and facilitating faithful DNA replication. Our results suggest that DNA replication acts in concert with genome topological states to fine-tune R-loops and thereby maintain genome integrity, revealing a likely conserved regulatory mechanism of TOP1i resistance in chemotherapy for ATM-deficient cancers.
