DNA binding activity of the proximal C-terminal domain of rat DNA topoisomerase II? is involved in ICRF-193-induced closed-clamp formation.


ABSTRACT: DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) is an essential enzyme that regulates DNA topology by DNA cleavage and re-ligation. In vertebrates, there are two isozymes, ? and ?. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the isozymes, which shows a low degree of sequence homology between ? and ?, is involved in each isozyme-specific intracellular behavior. The CTD of topo II? is supposedly involved in topo II regulation. Topo II? is maintained in an inactive state in the nucleoli by the binding of RNA to the 50-residue region termed C-terminal regulatory domain (CRD) present in the CTD. Although in vitro biochemical analysis indicates that the CTD of topo II? has DNA binding activity, it is unclear whether CTD influences catalytic reaction in the nucleoplasm. Here, we show that the proximal CTD (hereafter referred to as pCTD) of rat topo II?, including the CRD, is involved in the catalytic reaction in the nucleoplasm. We identified the pCTD as a domain with DNA binding activity by in vitro catenation assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching (FRAP) analysis of pCTD-lacking mutant (?pCTD) showed higher mobility in nucleoplasm than that of the wild-type enzyme, indicating that the pCTD also affected the nuclear dynamics of topo II?. ICRF-193, one of the topo II catalytic inhibitors, induces the formation of closed-clamp intermediates of topo II. Treatment of ?pCTD with ICRF-193 significantly decreased the efficiency of closed-clamp formation. Altogether, our data indicate that the binding of topo II? to DNA through the pCTD is required for the catalytic reaction in the nucleoplasm.

DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) is an essential enzyme that regulates DNA topology by DNA cleavage and re-ligation. In vertebrates, there are two isozymes, α and β. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the isozymes, which shows a low degree of sequence homology between α and β, is involved in each isozyme-specific intracellular behavior. The CTD of topo IIβ is supposedly involved in topo II regulation. Topo IIβ is maintained in an inactive state in the nucleoli by the binding of RNA to the 50-residue r  ...[more]
