The relationship between the higher-order structure of human metaphase chromosomes and the distribution of topoisomerase IIα was analyzed by a comparison of atomic force microscope (AFM) and fluorescence microscope images of the same chromosome. AFM imaging of chromosomes in liquid revealed the presence of alternating ridges and grooves on the surfaces of the sister chromatids. In contrast, the fluorescence image of the chromosomes stained with the anti-topoisomerase IIα antibody showed that the fluorescence intensity of topoisomerase IIα was not uniform and that there were alternating strong and weak spots along the chromosome axes. A comparison of the AFM image with a fluorescence microscope image of the same chromosome further demonstrated that ridges and grooves corresponded to strong and weak fluorescence intensities of topoisomerase IIα, respectively. These findings suggest that the distribution of topoisomerase IIα has a close connection with the higher-order structure of human metaphase chromosomes.
