Reactive oxygen species stress increases accumulation of tyrosyl-DNA phsosphodiesterase 1 within mitochondria.

ABSTRACT: Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (Tdp1) is a nuclear and mitochondrial protein that in nuclei and in vitro repairs blocked 3' DNA termini such as 3' phosphotyrosine conjugates resulting from stalling of topoisomerase I-DNA intermediates. Its mutation also causes spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1 (SCAN1). Because Tdp1 colocalizes with mitochondria following oxidative stress, we hypothesized that Tdp1 repairs mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and that mtDNA damage mediates entry of Tdp1 into the mitochondria. To test this, we used S. cerevisiae mutants, cultured mouse and human cells, and a Tdp1 knockout mouse. H2O2- and rotenone-induced cellular and intramitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) activated oxidant-responsive kinases P38 and ERK1, and the translocation of Tdp1 fro
