DNA topology is a direct consequence of the double helical nature of DNA and is defined by how the two complementary DNA strands are intertwined. Virtually every reaction involving DNA is influenced by DNA topology or has topological effects. It is therefore of fundamental importance to understand how this phenomenon is controlled in living cells. DNA topoisomerases are the key actors dedicated to the regulation of DNA topology in cells from all domains of life. While significant progress has been made in the last two decades in understanding how these enzymes operate in vivo in Bacteria and Eukaryotes, studies in Archaea have been lagging behind. This review article aims to summarize what is currently known about DNA topology regulation by DNA topoisomerases in main archaeal model organisms. These model archaea exhibit markedly different lifestyles, genome organization and topoisomerase content, thus highlighting the diversity and the complexity of DNA topology regulation mechanisms and their evolution in this domain of life. The recent development of functional genomic assays supported by next-generation sequencing now allows to delve deeper into this timely and exciting, yet still understudied topic.
