Summary

Description
English: Negative supercoiling promotes R-loop formation. Topoisomerases inhibit R-loop formation by resolving negative supercoiling. The presence of a nick in the nontemplate strand downstream of a promoter makes DNA reannealing less efficient, which favors nucleation of an R-loop. DNA secondary structures can also stabilize the R-loop structures. G-clusters on the RNA transcript favor R-loop formation. Defects in anti-R-loop factors like RNase H and RNA-DNA helicases also lead to increased R-loop formation.
